葡萄酒+食物+剧院= Lalit Ashok的晚餐剧院Konnection
自从搬到班加罗尔后，我可以数一数我参加的文化活动的数量……等等……没有人手！我确实有一次在怀特菲尔德有一场戏的票，但是交通太糟糕了，当我们最终到达时，我们错过了开幕式，所以就去那里吃晚饭。事实上，承认我直到最近才去听音乐会、戏剧、歌剧、舞蹈或戏剧演出有点尴尬。它一直是我在美国和西班牙生活的一小部分（地狱，甚至当我在墨西哥生活的时候），我真的很想念它。因此，当我看到Lalit Ashok正在启动他们所谓的“剧院连接”并承诺从现在起每季度举行一次时，我激动不已。
剧院克氏剧院实际上是晚餐剧院，它真的很棒。事实上，他们甚至在踩到舞厅门之前甚至赢得了我的心。在大厅里有一个很好的穿着服务器，拿着一个银色托盘，坐在它上面的红色和白葡萄酒的大脚杯。啊，祝福你我的儿子！在我的书中的任何一天都会击败小模型。在那之上，Amit Samson，Geniar Joshi，烹饪高管和可爱的公共关系经理Radhika Dhruv都穿着完美，并在入口处围绕入口处欢迎各自的所有客人才能理解事件。这是一个非常好的触感。
坐落在酒店的大型球房之一，舞台上是一个名为Droamanon的英国剧院剧院，餐厅发挥了厨师宁静的Bhatia的喜悦。房间设有大型圆形亚麻覆盖的桌子，为6位客人设置，以确保每个人都有一个很好的舞台景观。除了名人客人和主人的一个或两个保留桌子上没有分配座位，因此漫步一会儿很有趣，并在约会上挑选一对可爱的已婚夫妇旁边的座位。
活动中的服务是您对Lalit的期望 - 快速和精彩。在我们坐下来之后不超过30秒，这位服务员带来了一个有趣的各种各样的各种各样对我和我的朋友在表现期间蚕食。由于戏剧直到下午8:30并持续90分钟，厨师知道胃在性能期间很可能会隆隆声，所以他为每个人做了乐趣的手指食物。我们有一碗黄油爆米花，一篮子嫩鸡肉和墨西哥玉米片与鳄梨酱 - yum！
在他们暗中灯光之前，人们看着很乐趣。There was one group of expats, lots of couples out on a date, a few families (some even brought small children which I found rather odd since small children can’t sit still for 90 minutes to watch a dialogue-heavy production) and what looked like a couple of groups of avid theatre-goers (you know, the fabulously clever looking literary types). The Kannada film actress Ragini was also on hand to give a quick introduction and welcome to the guests. Some women were dressed in salwar kameez or sarees, others in short skirts and cocktail dresses. And as always the gentlemen were dressed in western wear – sadly no kurtas or traditional Indian clothes on them which I adore.
混合戏剧和食物，当然还有葡萄酒是完美的。浪漫喜剧《披萨》的演员们做了一件了不起的工作。在90分钟里，他们像摇滚明星一样来来回回地开玩笑，从不跳过一个节拍，也从不犯我所注意到的一个错误。全场观众在整个演出过程中都大笑起来，不停地想知道接下来会发生什么。非常有趣。
一件有趣的事情确实发生在我不会很快忘记，并且绝对与戏剧本身无关。Lately I’m on a “you know you live in India” kick on my Facebook Page and I definitely knew I was in India during the play when the older gent sitting at the table in front of us, with his hand saucily on the leg of his young date hidden under a coat, burped. I’m sure my jaw dropped and my eyes bugged out because it was the strangest thing to break the silence in a play that I’ve ever heard. Sadly it didn’t happen just the once either so I’m guessing this is a-okay behavior in his home. Trust me, he should be glad he didn’t grow up at my house with my Mom ‘cuz there’s no way that would have flown at the table!
话剧结束后，演员们和观众一起吃饭。主厨尼米什·巴蒂亚为我们准备了一份精美的展品，摆放在隔壁房间，并在演出结束后向客人开放。它包括美味的蘑菇汤和新鲜面包，还有蔬菜选择，如沙拉、面包卷和千层面。还有非素食的食物，比如世界上独一无二的切碎羊肉。
我肯定期待10月，下一场剧院来到城里。This first go-around I had nibbled far too much on our snacks during the play so I had to graciously bail out on dessert but there was so much on offer that next time I’m going to nibble less so I can splurge more later!! If you live in Bangalore, be sure to email The Lalit Ashok and ask to be on their alert list for the dinner theatre so you don’t miss it.
