Dear Theatrewallah's
This October is one of the rarest in Bombay’s
Theatre History. You can count the number of shows on your hand. Part of it due
to the Prithvi Theatre being closed for renovation. But mainly due to theatre
groups being in rehearsal for the upcoming Theatre Festival seasons of November
and December. But just as Bombay groups go into hibernation, our city is
invaded by out-of-town troupes mainly with the 9 exciting performances coming
to Tata Literature Live! from the 30th of October to the 2nd
of November. And this year the fest is at both the NCPA and Prithvi. Go
Literature!! There are also exciting foreign shows as part of the Going Solo Festival
(Oct 20th and 21st).
Sunil Shanbag deals with the closure of Prithvi by opening up another new venue with his 'Marriage – Ology’ at Khar – F2 Fitness.

On the QTP front, we are facing our busiest few weeks.
The Thespo 16 Screening Panel is at present
travelling around the country to ten cities to watch the 183 plays from 3
countries that have registered for the festival. Returning
to Thespo this year is Brit company Clerke & Joy, and they begin work this
month on their new show for the festival called Falls 2-11.
