Many plays and films have depicted the life story of Gautama Buddha, but what made the musical play The Way Across unique was its regional
focus. Directed by G. Kumara Swamy, the play adapted from the book Telangana lo Buddhism focused on the enlightenment of a cursed Brahmin
Bawari and his 16 curious disciples willing to understand the deeper truths of birth, death, rebirth and brotherhood.

From the impressive use of projector visuals, music and shadow-play, there was every effort to lend authenticity to the theme. Despite the play's
focus on Telangana, the native essence was compromised, due to the English rendition (done for a wider reach). The lines appeared jaded with
literal translations. The honest performances from the crew impacted only on a surface-level. Kiran Kumar's Bawari act and Krishna Chaitanya
Joshi as Pingiya (said to have propagated Buddhism from Telangana to several regions across South India) grab your attention.

What was sacrificed to keep the play in English?
1) A wider audience
2) Authenticity
3) Depiction of reality
4) A bit of native essence
Correct Answer: A bit of native essence
