OTS Show at Lucknow

Dario Fo 's Accidental Death of an Anarchist
Operation Three Star
Adaptation by Amitabh Srivastava
Lyrics-Piyush Mishra
Direction -Arvind Gaur
4th January, 2009 at Lucknow,Yayavar theatre festival

Staring- Viren Basoya , Raj Sharma, Pankaj Yadav, Malay Garg, Rahul Datta, Parvesh Dhawan and Shilpi Marwaha

Nikhat Kazmi ,Times of India-Today when newspaper headlines are screaming about police atrocities, operation three star becomes a compelling study on the anatomy of violence... taut, energetic and embellished with a compelling performance by actors,OTS (Accidental Death of an Anarchist)becomes a noteworthy addition to Asmita's repertoire… Imaginative methodology, which is reflected in,plays Tughlaq, Court-Martial and O.T.S

Kavita Nagpal, Hindustan Times- Gaur updated the script with contemporary references of police Violence, bhagalpur, rape in police custody, killing of two innocent Businessmen in C.P

Smita Nirula, Pioneer -Very relevant and timely...the play comes down hard on police brutality, inefficiency & connivance

Amit Kumar, Rashtriya Sahara- Competent direction...powerful performance...one more achievement by Arvind Gaur and his team Asmita.
