Many plays and films have depicted the life story of Gautama Buddha, but what made the musical play The Way Across unique was its regionalfocus. Directed by G. Kumara Swamy, the play adapted from the book Telangana lo Buddhism focused on the enlightenment of a cursed BrahminBawari 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'sfocus on Telangana, the native essence was compromised, due to the English rendition (done for a wider reach). The lines appeared jaded withliteral translations. The honest performances from the crew impacted only on a surface-level.
