		<description><![CDATA[The play is an absurdly comic tale about love and the pursuit of happiness.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>About the Play:</strong></p>
<p>‘ <strong>Love on the Brink</strong> ‘ is a wickedly satirical and brilliantly comic story about three people who meet unexpectedly one dark night at the edge of the sea front.</p>
<p>Sudipto Bandhopadhya ( Bandy), an existentialist intellectual who has sunk so low that honest existentialists would disown him. He has no future except to jump off into the sea and is about to do so, when Pankaj Chopra ( Chops) comes along and intervenes. Chops and Bandy turn out to be college classmates. Bandy, in his rags, reveals the depth of his despair, Chops a picture of prosperity, is all sympathy and then confesses that he too is full of frustration, because his wife won’t divorce him so he can marry the woman he loves.</p>
<p>Into this, Chops’ wife Amu appears, a beautiful and highly overeducated woman, and a triangle of the absurd ensues, that in the tradition of all great comedy revels in alienation, the loss of identity, inability to communicate, self expression and the meaninglessness of  it all. And the more their woes increase, the more we laugh, as we recognize our own lives in their incisively observed and wildly funny misadventures, as they struggle to understand life, love, success and the pursuit of happiness</p>
<p><strong>22 August with 2 shows – </strong>5.30pm and 7.30pm <strong>at Epicenter, Apparel House, Gurgaon</strong></p>
<p>Produced and Directed by <strong>Lillete Dubey<br />
</strong>Adapted by <strong>Sandhya Divecha </strong>(Based on the Tony Award Winning Broadway hit <strong><em>‘Luv’ </em></strong>by Murray Schisgal)<br />
Cast : <strong><em>Joy Sengupta, Kumud Mishra </em></strong><em>and <strong>Shivani Tanksale<br />
</strong></em><br />
<strong>Play duration</strong>: 100 min.<br />
<strong>Donor charges</strong>: Rs 1000/- per person<br />
<strong>No. of seats available:</strong> 312 seats per show</p>
<p><strong>About Genesis Foundation:<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Genesis Foundation is a private trust. It facilitates critical medical care for abandoned and lesser privileged children with the intent and hope that such children may have an opportunity to lead a normal or near normal life and sustain themselves in the future.<br />
Most of Genesis Foundation’s special children are afflicted with multiple medical challenges. Yet they go about life undaunted and curious about tomorrow. Some of them are able to cope with life despite their disabilities, and a few need serious and specific medical interventions.</p>
<p>Genesis Foundation currently works with several NGOs, Institutions and Hospitals in New Delhi that include abandoned and medically challenged children from North India.</p>
<p>It also works with children from lesser privileged families who have little or no means to help their children survive life-threatening medical challenges.</p>
<p><strong><em>The entire money that is donated, goes directly to treating the children, saving a life and thereby sharing a smile.</em></strong></p>
