In a blaze of energetic music, dazzling costumes, Bratman unfolds as a spectacle, blending slapstick comedy with sly social commentary.
The plot—anchored on Bratman and Robin's mission to recover the city's stolen Christmas presents—delivers a joyous ride for children and adults alike.
Directed by Krishnakumar Balasubramanian and produced by Aysha Rau, Bratman carries forward The Little Theatre's legacy—an annual Christmas Pantomime that has enthralled Chennai audiences for 30 years.
Aysha said, "This is our 28th Christmas Pantomime, and it's extra special as we've dedicated it to my mother, Supriya Cheriyan, who acted on this very stage at the age of 92. We only perform in Chennai because it is the nicest city in the world."
Gotham glows with glee
The play's plot comes to life with Bratman and Robin facing off against a rogues' gallery of villains, including the cunning Penguin, the duplicitous Two-Face, and the physically imposing Bane.
