The Odd Couple but perfectly even comedy

This is about the play "The Odd Couple". The play was enacted by "EVAM".

This was my first ever play (discounting all those plays you watched in college and some play i supposedly saw when i was 6). I think this was the perfect beginning. The acting was terrific diction was clear and of course it was an awesome comedy. I really liked it.

There were two things that struck me in the play

1.
As soon as i started watching it i realised that i have seen the whole thing in DD2 "directors cut".

Poor souls whose parents were too strict (No cable connection) will realize what i am talking about.

Thus it was disappointing that the play was not original.

2.
However the interesting thing was that there was absolutely no intention whatsoever to hide the fact that the play is taken from some classic. There was no "Indianization" Dollars didn't become rupees and New Jersey didn't become New Delhi.

This was comforting and very very dignified.

There was an ending ceremony where they talked about profitability and the ways they want to keep the adience informed of upcoming plays. For an MBA like me it was like wow.

Kudos to evam. Keep entertaining guys.
