Laugh non-stop, that’s what the audience did watching ‘Crazy Thieves...’100 MINUTES – 200 JOKES is S.Ve. Watching ‘Crazy Thieves in Palavakkam,’ Mohan’s script that set a trend in Tamil theatre and got him the sobriquet, one realised Shekher was completely justified in creating that tag line. Revived after four decades, the play had the same charm and was in tune with the modern milieu. He had this writer in splits, talking about politics, cinema and himself minutes before the curtain went up at Vani Mahal. Sridhar (writer) did their best to match Shekher’s speed in this play, which is about a family shifting from Tiruvallikeni to Palavakkam, considered an outback in the 1970s.
