Koch said he could not make The War of the Worlds interesting or credible as a radio play, a conviction echoed by his secretary Anne Froelick, a typist and aspiring writer whom Houseman had hired to assist him.

DANCE LIKE A MAN play review, English play review. A man trapped by circumstances, a woman caught between ambition and family life. When the choice is between dreams and reality, the latter always wins. Mahesh Dattanis Dance Like A Man centers on an individuals plight, where a dying form of art serves as the backdrop. Lillete Dubeys direction makes a powerful story more realistic. A man stifled by his ageing fathers principles, must find a way to escape, in order to create an alternative world that will enable him to practice the one thing that he loves the most dancing. The son makes a mockery of his fathers revolutionary acts. Calling himself a reformer, a freedom fighter, he ridicules the reforms that freedom fighters fought for. However, his father has different plans for his son. Taking advantage of his sons financial dependency on him, the father altogether stops his sons dancing classes. He wants his son to become an adult. In anger, the son leaves home, only to return, as he cannot support himself or his wife. This works marvelously for the father. He thinks of a new scheme. He smooth talks his daughter in law to discourage her husband from his passion and to criticize, albeit subtly, his mediocrity. The wife Ratna is overly ambitious, and she will sacrifice her husbands career for her career to take off. What is extremely disturbing is that the man turns into a drunkard, and the parents lack of commitment towards their infant Shankar, results in his death. The flashback techniques used by the director are done very cleverly and in one instant we are transported back and forth in time.

Through the flashback techniques, Latas father plays the role of his own father and Latas fiance becomes the young man, haunted by his art, and Lata herself portrays her mother when she was much younger. We go into flashbacks at a much later stage of the play. The play opens with Ratnas daughter Lata played by Suchitra Pillai who brings her fiancee Joy Sengupta to her parents home. Through their conversations we get a slight idea of the family history, the nature of Latas parents and a little about their ancestry. Just when Latas fiancee is in the process of imitating her grandfather, do Latas parents enter. Some confusion seems to envelope the entire household. Latas mother makes a big fuss about her debut dance performance before the entire nation. Lillete Dubeys character is extremely interesting. Somewhere the characters of Lata and her fiancee fade in the background. We focus more on the mother and father, whose characters are very strong and they seem to form the core of the story. All her life, Ratna does not think her husband is man enough, chiefly for two reasons. He is not man enough to realize his dreams, and therefore he is responsible for his self destruction. And secondly, he cannot support himself or her. Images of a dancing man, dressed in the garbs of a woman, and that of a weak man, are brilliantly juxtaposed. Lillete Dubey has to be complimented for her brilliant techniques because the subject matter is handled very delicately. The way the story is directed matters a lot, because such a powerful story can either be a mess or it can transcend into something new. Each character plays a dual role and the performances are highly appreciated. The set is simple yet extravagant. Old photos of family members hang on the ceiling. The antique furniture gives one a feeling that it is still the post independence era. And in the end, we seek solace in the fact that husband and wife will reunite in heaven and dance to please the gods. And there will be no one left to say, Dance Like A Man.
