“The story of Mary is a very internal, invisible, and untold story,” says Dr Omkar Bhatkar, founder and artistic director of the Metamorphosis Theatre group, whose latest play, Morning Star, deals with the life and times of Mother Mary.
The writer-director of the play, who has ten years of experience as a playwright, says that the relative obscurity of Mary’s early origins drew him towards writing the play. Bhatkar, who is also a sociologist, designed the play as a socio-historical biopic that explores Mary’s life before she became the mother of Jesus. Morning Star takes its name from the famous painting hung at St Michael’s church in Mahim, which depicts Mary with a star on her forehead.
