Kerala - Kochi   

Honouring theatre personalities

Staff Reporter

KOCHI: The P.J. Antony Memorial Foundation is planning to honour personalities who have been actively involved with the theatre scene in the State. The Foundation, set up in the memory of one of Kerala's greatest thespians, has been organising various cultural events for the past couple of years in the city.

However, from this year onwards, the organisation plans to include the honouring of a senior theatre person, who has been active in any aspect of theatre, along with its regular cultural programmes, according to Pooyappilly Thankappan, secretary of the Foundation. So, this month, Purushan Kadalundy, a playwright well-known in the professional theatre circuit in the State, will be honoured. The function will be held along with a Ghazal Eve, to be organised on August 13.

The Ghazal Eve will present Gayatri, the well-known young singer who specialises in Hindustani vocal and ghazals. The music evening in Kochi will include the `Old is Gold,' songs from the yesteryears and bhajans, apart from ghazals.

The venue will be Kerala Fine Arts Hall. Reception to Mr. Purushan will begin at 6 p.m., followed by the music programme.
