The sun's barely out, just keeps raining all day long....no wait, that's Toronto weather. But being June, the Bombay weather is sure to get that way pretty soon. Weather reports notwithstanding, this month promises to be a good month for theatre lovers. Summertime for Children shows will continue at the Prithvi and a brand new venue - Bhavan's Theatre at Chowpatty. This month sees the returns of 2 favourites that have never quite done enough performances - High-Pot-In-Use-Tri-Angle's 'Me Grandad 'ad an Elephant' and Harami Theatre's hilarious and hard hitting 'Butter and Mashed Banana', which won Outstanding play at Thespo 7 in 2005. Also this month, Sunil Shanbag finally shows Bombay his new play 'Stories in a Song'. So grab your tickets soon!!

Last month's quiz resulted in our best percentage of right answers. Is stage left the left of the stage as seen from the actors point of view or the audience point of view? 78% guessed correctly - 'The Actor'. Very very nice!
Theatre in India lost a giant in May - Badal Sircar. We pay homage to him in this issue.
We also have another theme for the issue - Peter Pan; he (or she) seems everywhere!
