Description
-
Funny Money reinterpreted Ray Cooney’s fast-paced British farce for Marathi-speaking audiences. The play follows an ordinary man who accidentally exchanges briefcases and discovers a large sum of illicit cash. What begins as a windfall quickly spirals into deception, mistaken identity, and escalating comic chaos. Adapted into Marathi by Mukund Marathe, the production retained Cooney’s rapid-fire structure while infusing local linguistic humor and diasporic context. The posters emphasize exaggeration and caricature, visually reflecting the farcical tone and mounting absurdity central to the narrative.
