![]() ![]() ![]() Why have you distanced yourself now from stage plays?Ī.ěecause I find that, the standard of present day stage drama is deteriorating.Ī. Q.Ĝan you name some of the stage plays in which you have taken part?Ī.ĝr.Sarathchandra's Premathi Jayathi Soko and Kalu Walalu Gunasena Galapththi's Muhudu Puttu Henry Jayasena's Makarã Saha Gamanak Dharmasiri Bandara's Kakarasaya, Dawala Beehishana Somalatha Subasinghe's Vikurthi and Jayantha Chandrasiri's Môra I believe that stage play is the only solid foundation or the basic training for any one who wants to be a professional thespian. I entered the cultural world as a Stage actor at the start and do still prefer this area of stage acting and dramatising to any other. Out of these three fields, do you have a preference at all to any particular one?Ī. ![]() I have been an actor, script writer and also a Director covering Stage Drama, Cinema and Teledrama What are your favourite areas or a particular section in this field, which is close to your heart?Ī.

Last month he was in London and Sweden exhibiting one of his latest productions 'Dalpadadu' to the Sri Lankan expatriates telescoping them into an area of nostalgia out of Sri Lankan life.

Once engaged in this highly competitive profession it is equally difficult to remain on the peak for too long. Performing Arts is a difficult discipline, which demands a lot of talent, charisma, and magnetism in a personality.
