Dear Drama lover,
As October brings with it floods across the country, so does it herald the 'festival' season for Bombay theatre. The Nehru festival kicks off this week, to be followed next month by the Prithvi Theatre Fest and then Thespo in December.
In premiere's this month, Yatri present 'Baap Re Baap & Gaaj Foot Inch' at the Prithvi and Sathaye College Auditorium and AKvarious mark Akash Khurana's return to direction with All About My Mother. In other news, Poor Box are celebrating their tenth year with shows of Art, The Vagina Monologues and Shirley Valentine.
On the QTP front, we are choco-o-block in October. After opening our play to a rapturous applause, we present more shows of our brand new play Some Girl(s). Also Khatijabai of Karmali Terrace is back after 2 years. Project S.T.R.I.P. has been invited for the Ranga Shankara festival in November. Also this month, yours truly and Amruta Sant are off to different corners of the country to select the plays that will be a part of Thespo 11.
