NEW JERSEY, USA, January 27, 2003: Terrence McNally’s play, “A Perfect Ganesh,” originally produced in England, is now playing at 12 Miles West Theater Company in Montclair, New Jersey. In the play two middle-age women friends decide to vacation in India without their husbands. Both women have endured challenging personal tragedies, and have come to India because they’ve been told it’s a place that heals the soul. They have to endure a great many challenges before that happens, but Lord Ganesha, as the Remover of Obstacles, guides them and they emerge stronger and wiser for the experience. Greg T. Parente’s portrays Lord Ganesha. He spends the entire 160 minutes of the play wearing an elephant’s head that’s covered with pink velour.
