Written by Ilango Adigal some time between the second and third centuries A.D., the story revolves around the steadfastness of Kannagi, her unfaithful husband Kovalan, and a dancer Madhavi.
The love triangle is considered by many to be ahead of its time.
BLT's production of the play follows a contemporary staging style, but retains the essence of the original drama.
