dhananjaya karunaratne speaks on theatre space

The Speaker, Dhananjaya Karunaratne, well-known Colombo based dramatist, explored the politics and dynamics of theatre space and sought alternative spaces where the actor and the spectator can be put through which the ‘entertainment’ and ‘professional’ aspects of drama might be better achieved.

There were a number of stage personalities among the large audience gathered and a lively discussion followed Karunaratne’s presentation that was moderated by Jagath Pathirage from the Colombo Institute.
