METROSCAPE: LOOKING GLASS

DELHI
Play

It has a tough act to follow. Adapted from the film Sister Act II: Back in the Habit, the play Back to the Convent is about how singer Dolores Van Cartier dons a nun's habit once again, this time not to save her own life but to save St Francis School from closure due to lack of funds and poor student performance. Everyone remembers the screen version with Whoopi Goldberg. Undeterred by the high expectations, director Madhu Sagar is promising audiences a funny musical with a cast of over 70 students. The play is on July 13 and 14 at Kamani Auditorium. For further details, call (011) 649-3846.

Decorative Art

Interiors boutique Da Vinci Collections' D'addomio is a range of Italian wall sculptures that depict scenes of historical and religious significance in a mood of unbridled kitsch. Think medieval era Christian saints or tiger-riding Durgas carved out of gold. The store also offers designer tables, sofas and objets using either or a combination of glass, wood, bronze, ceramic and marble. At K-15, Lajpat Nagar-II, Call (011) 684-8297.

KOLKATA
Restaurant

Choosing a name for a Thai eatery isn't easy and before entrepreneur Rajesh Agarwal settled on Thai Tonight he was strongly inclined towards Bangkok Nights. Either way, gourmets expected more than a meal. Till that happens, however, the menu, which includes dishes found nowhere else in the city will have to suffice. Try the Bean Sheets-Sweet and Sour Chicken, the fingerlicker Por Pia Noung Sai Kai, and the stir-fried prawn, vegetables and Thai herbs combo Pad Guay Tiew Shieng Goong. No drinks yet, but a meal for two, without crabs or jumbo prawns, costs Rs 600. At 29/1A, Ballygunge Circular Road. Call (033) 454-2036.
