Reclaiming Hindu symbols



The play Ganesh Versus The Third Reich first played in Melbourne, Australia. The theme is seemingly simple: a Hindu effort to reclaim the Swastika, a sacred symbol of Hinduism, from the association it has had with the Nazis.

The play is directed by an Australian playwright, Bruce Gladwin, and had an all-Australian cast in its inaugural showing.

Backstage magazine writes up a favorable review of the play, as it opens in New York.
