The play "Soorya Paahilelaa MaaNoos" is regarded as one of the important plays on the Marathi stage. Writer Makarand Sathe and
Director Atul Pethe, known for their innovation and experimentation with new themes and styles, have successfully prompted the
viewers to re-examine Socrates' thoughts in the context of the problems faced by the society today.

This Teleplay is not just a picturization of the play. A multi-camera set up and use of high resolution betacam format has allowed
Director Pethe to bring out nuances that may go unnoticed in a stage performance. This has added an additional dimension to the play
and has given the teleplay a character of its own.

This production has a special meaning for the SF Bay Area as it is produced by a well known artist and art enthusiast, Abhay Patil, a
long time Bay Area resident. The entire archival project came about due to his very passionate urge to bring it abroad.
