Hello
Everyone!!
Is February becoming the new 'Theatre Season' for Bombay? Here are some stats: there is one particular day when there are 17 performances. The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival has almost 60 plays. And three international shows are touring the country!
Highlights for the month include the return of the beautifully crafted 'Shakkar ke Paanch Daane', Rage's latest play 'The Glass Menagerie' and the premiere of Trishla Patel's Pirendello classic 'Six Characters in Search of an Author'.
But perhaps the greatest news
of the month is the arrival of HeLa.
We at QTP have decided to begin our 15th anniversary celebrations by bringing a
show direct from the Edinburgh Fringe. A play that we saw and really liked and
thought it should be shared with Indian audiences. So the play will tour
Bombay, Delhi and Bangalore. What's more we are also trying to create a new
theatre venue in central Bombay, so HeLa will be staged at the city's best kept
secret - Sitara Studios in Lower Parel. We hope to see you there. Tickets are
available on www.bookmyshow.com. Also Great Texts will be happening on the 24th of February!Is February becoming the new 'Theatre Season' for Bombay?
