It explores late twentieth-century society as deftly as it does universal human relationships. Called a tragicomedy by some critics\, it is a witty\, biting\, yet ultimately sincere commentary on what drives people. The heart of the play can be summed up in a few sentences that Louisa Kittredge directs at the audience: “I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation. . . . It’s a profound thought. . . . How every person is a new door\, opening up into other worlds.” The play was made into a movie starring Will Smith in 1993. \nABOUT THE PRESENTER\nAhmed Karim\, by profession\, is an organizational development consultant. He has an abiding interest in human  identity and this is the undertow of his love for a variety of subjects and fields such as Literature\, among others.\nExcerpts from the play will be read by Mohini Khot\, John Kurrien and Ahmed Karim. \nDate: Sunday\, 10 Jan  2021 | Time: 06.30 PM (IST)
