To me, one of the primary reasons for Crazy Mohans success as a playwright was the relatability of his characters and the situations they found themselves in. The tapes of S Ve Shekhar and Crazy Mohan were a rage and thus entered Crazy Mohan in my life. Watching a play in a sabha had ceased to be a regular form of entertainment and hence audio tapes of plays were primarily our window to the world of theatre. It was an era when Tamil theatre was undergoing a rough patch, with both performances and audiences dwindling due to various reasons. Today the Tamil theatre scene is a vibrant one with many troupes coming out with several interesting ventures.īut, growing up in the 90s, our knowledge of Tamil theatre was restricted to a few select personalities like YG Mahendra, S Ve Shekhar and Crazy Mohan.
