the audience and the actor. It had become popular in the English theatre
as well with its translation by Ruwanthi de Chickera and played by Gihan
de Chickera. It was also performed in a number of countries. You can
enjoy the original Sinhala version of the play in Sihina Rangahala.
The latest addition to the series Duwana Un Dennek (Two People on
Run), is a tragic-comedy influenced by physical theater has already been
a very popular one act play. The other plays are also centered on very
intimate and sensitive subjects.

of a more proactive and sensitive style of theatre. This series is a
successful result of an experiment.
