Prithvi Theatre – 9pm: CHINTA CHHOD CHINTAMANI
It is the story of a family where the father thinks his progenies are standing at the threshold of total ruination.

NCPA Experimental – 7:00pm: S*X, M*RALITY AND CENS*RSHIP
The play goes back to the early 70’s when Vijay Tendulkar’s classic, Sakharam Binder, created controversy in the theatre scene. The stage censor board came down heavily on the script and the play was attacked by sections of society. The story of Sakharam Binder, the parallel world of tamasha and the spirit of the 70’s all make up an exciting mix of theatre, memory, live music, dance and video. The show provokes, challenges, entertains and asks the question – who says NO!? And why?

And this revival (with a younger cast) is being done with the intention of introducing our children to Mr. Shaw’s exquisite use of words, and his genius as a playwright.
