The Summit
 The British Council and Hutch in association with The Park present The Summit, an award winning play, on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 21 January 2004, 7.00 p.m. at the Smt. Sivagami Pethachi Auditorium, 179 Luz Church Road, (inside MCTM Chidambaram Chettyar Hr. Sec. School) Mylapore, Chennai 600 004. Passes are available at the British Council, 737 Anna Salai, Chennai 600 02 on a first-come first-served basis.
The Summit takes as its starting point the paraphernalia of diplomacy and war, reducing them to the nervous systems of two brothers in suits. Both timeless and timely, this brilliant piece of work has been performed world-wide, winning numerous awards. Jonathan and Barnaby Stone, the duo who form Ralf Ralf, build their performances from physical and vocal cues in which song, dance, gesture and invented language are uniquely and hilariously combined.
