Long post...
What a journey! I've waited over 30 years to do this play, and now, it's done. I'm happy, sad, drained, thrilled...and thoroughly satisfied. This isn't an easy play. It affects you. It questions your very moral fibre. It wrings your emotional core. It breaks your heart and soul. It takes a very strong person to pull off the characters. A brilliant, honest, open actor.
I had 2!
@aparnarajhesh . What a brilliant human. Her dedication, strength, openness and childlike enthusiasm are a gift. She went through turmoil, had meltdowns, confronted deep seated personal fears...but she never, ever gave up. For trusting me with TAF and the play, and for helping me learn so much...
@aparnarajhesh , love you forever 🥰
@r_abinaya my little girl. What a powerhouse of talent. Quiet. Strong. Open. Honest. Tireless. You are a dream come true for any director. Your quiet strength and a maturity, that belies your age, brought Nisha to life. Every little emotion, gesture, word, nuance , came from a deep understanding of her. You questioned, you listened, analysed, cried, laughed...you made Nisha 'real'. No melodrama, just sheer honesty. I am your fan
@r_abinaya my dearest little girl , love you so much ❤️❤️❤️.
@balram.it.is you are Mr. Dependable. Every director's dream. A writer, director, actor, and a tough taskmaster. I couldn't have done this without you. Eternal namaskaar, dhanyavaad, gratitude.
@prasanna.rajaram79 our 4th outing together, and what a ride. I marvel at how open and humble you are. How, like a thirsty sponge, you absorb so much. And give too...ideas, insights, questions...we've got so much more to do - together. Thank you for being there, for being unapologetically 'you'.

@vj_abinayaa , big big hugs and a big ummaa...you are such a beautiful person.
@srinivas0707 , our big teddy bear, thanks so much for all you help.
Thanks Bala, don't know your insta handle.
The lights are off. The curtains down.
Until they go up, again...we take our curtain call - with a phrase , often used, but meant from the bottom of our hearts
"Thank you for being the best audience in the world! Not a hiccup, a cough, a cellphone beep,...we love you"
