The ancient Hindu love story of the hermit's daughter Shakuntala and King Dushyanta was told the in the Mahabharata and dramatized by the author Kalidasu. Craig Hutchison adapts and directs the tale in the Black Orchid Theatre Group's production of SHAKUNTALA.
While chasing a deer, Kind Dushyanta comes upon the lovely Shakuntala, daughter to a hermit. He is enchanted by her as she is with him, and they marry. When Shakuntala reunites with Dushyanta at his palace, he claims he's never seen her before--and breaks her heart. Will Shakuntala be vindicated?
Come and join us for this romantic, heartfelt production!
