MARITAL BLITZ

(Ashwin Singh, Nesan Pather, Kajal Maharaj and Derosha Moodley)

The Playhouse Loft is certain to set tongues wagging as the vibrant cast members of Marital Blitz take to the stage from May 18 to 19.

Marital Blitz is an extraordinary insight into matrimonial affairs that will keep the audience intrigued long after the final curtain. This romantic comedy is about misdemeanours, miscommunications and misunderstandings in marriage.

Newlyweds Sanvir and Shalini must cope with the strains and stresses of their marriage and new life together. Their tribulations are exacerbated by Sanvir’s mysterious and eccentric boss, Mr Poona, and the unusual tips about a successful marriage by Shalini’s friend, Desiree.
