It was the year 2046. In the distant and faraway planet or Yr lived a lonely alien named Ickapoo. It had no friends as all its species had been vanquished from a meteor storm. In its solitude and misery it pined for a companion.
Yr was a bare and inhospitable planet. With winds blowing at 150 km an hour, it was virtually impossible to see past the blizzard and storm. Ickapoo yearned for friends and company. Many a time he fiddled with his transistor radio, sending out messages and hoping for a response. He sent fire launchers and rockets into space, hoping that some space traveler would find out about his existence. Ickapoo was an alienated alien. In the same way humans wondered whether we were the only species to inhabit the universe, Ickapoo felt estranged and isolated from the rest of the cosmos.  Join Ickapoo on his escapades across galaxies and worlds in search of company.

Ickapoo must use his male and Alien privilege to redeem rather than oppress women.


In Mahesh Dattani’s Brief Candle, the notions of women as an oppressed class and the fleeting mortality of human life are explored. In the play, cancer patients stage a play about Hotel Staylonger, a comedy written by Vikash, and the contents of the play are an attempt to have a sanguine look at death by making the hospital a hotel instead in which the chief doctor Divika Dave plays the hotel manager. This is a very apt metaphor for the plight the patients are in. Divika seeks to extend their lives as a doctor and their stays in the play as a hotel manager, and it is made clear that like hotel guests, our time in this life is limited and there is an end date to our life here on earth.


Men may Oppress, but they could also Redeem
