Thank you Rajanayahem. I have always followed your enlightening blog articles. It is my great pleasure to hear from you about GODSE.
GODSE play-text is available in my latest collection of plays ALAMAK, published by Zerodegree Publishing in Chennai. Available online in Zerodegree, Panuval and other websites.
I gave the text as pdf to Muthusamy when he was in Singapore at his son Ravi's house. That was the last meeting and hearty conversations.

Had plans to meet him in Chennai again but he has passed on. A Koothu-p-Pattarai without him is like visiting an empty palace. Our relationship lasted from 1989, when I brought him down to stage NAARKAALIKKARAR to change the Singapore Tamil theatre scene. It further continued with his participation with Purisai Kannappath Thambiran group's performance in 1990, and KPP's doublebill - England & Macbett in 1998 and Singapore Writers Week 1991.
I did not know that he had wanted to really stage GODSE against all the odds in the Tamilnadu political sphere. If he had informed me then, I would have translated the play for KPP and could have met him again in Chennai.
Once again, thank you so much for bringing the memories.
