That season, and the next, were riotous, energetic, fun, with theatre and dance festivals, shows from 25 countries, talks and workshops.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Then came March 23<sup>rd</sup> 2020. The nation was locked down. The rest of the season was cancelled. Money was refunded. Money was lost. Colour and sound bled to an eerie stillness. The peacocks and pea hens took over the campus, strutting across the now empty stage. For the first time in 40 years I was neither performing, nor presenting.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">And on, the lockdown stretched.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">My artistic director, Yadavan Chandran, and I are the only two who live on the Darpana campus. We had at our disposal, all our musical instruments, all our video equipment, all our costumes, to play with. If we could muster the energy amidst the gloom and tragedy.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">And energy we certainly mustered. How could performance be reinvented for unseen audiences? How could they be enhanced by creating videos for a virtual space? We explored this and created six new dance and performance pieces.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">And then something wonderful happened. The League of Theatre Women based in the US, of which I am a member, decided to organize a series of performance based webinars, in a series called Theatre From The Streets. It aimed at giving performers the opportunity to create three to five minute pieces that drew attention to a problem or issue that they felt passionately about and wanted to bring to the world’s attention. Three countries were chosen, Lebanon-Gaza, Venezuela and India. Each had four Sundays to run the webinars, with three performances being presented each Sunday, followed by moderated conversations with people who had registered. I was invited to curate the Indian month.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">I started getting in touch with artists I admired. In the current climate of self censorship and the blatantly misuse of the law of sedition to silence voices that question the government and its policies, I wondered how many artists would dare speak of issues like the oxygen crises, the migrants walking home, violence, divisiveness, environmental damage, rape and more.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Just as I feared, many artists expressed their inability to participate, in a variety of polite ways. Others jumped into it. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">I have been very disturbed by the curbing of our right of free speech over the last few years. Many artist and activist friends languish in jails for no reason other than following our constitutional right to freedom of expression. I wanted to create around that. Serendipitously I came across a poem by Swaraj Bir Singh, in Hindi, addressed to the judge presiding in the case of Pinjra Tod activist Natasha Narwal, who had asked for bail to visit her ailing father. On a Saturday the judge declined to give an order, saying he would give it on Monday. On Sunday Natasha’s father passed away.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Swaraj’s poem gave vent to the anguish at the failure of our judicial system, and mirrored the anger, outrage and helplessness that I felt. I created a movement vocabulary for it and read it in the original Hindi. Yadavan directed and filmed it. The process of creating it was both cathartic and anguish generating.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Theatre and the other arts are an incomparable language to draw society to its core, to mirror society so that it finds its humaneness. The challenge is to do this while still creating pieces that have an audience, artful pieces that couch their core idea with audience gripping elements.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">At a moment in history where the very idea of India recedes by everyday acts of omission and commission, it is up to us to search for values and truth within ourselves, and then to find the courage and artistry to enrich an audience.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">We live in times where the conscience of human beings has all but disappeared. Yet without a conscience we are no different from animals. As artists we need to plumb our own depths to rekindle our conscience, to find generosity and caring in ourselves, and then to use our work to make the world a kinder, gentler, more caring and aware place.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><div style="background-color: white; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><b><span lang="EN-US"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="text-align: -webkit-right;">Mallika Sarabhai is one of India’s leading choreographers and dancers, in constant demand as a soloist and with her own dance company, Darpana, creating and performing both classical and contemporary works.

invite all of us, as creators, to enter our proper scope and sphere and perspective of epic time, epic
change, epic awareness, epic reflection, and epic vision? We are living in an epic period in human
history and the deep and consequential changes we are experiencing in human beings’ relations to
themselves, to each other, and to nonhuman worlds are nearly beyond our abilities to grasp, to
articulate, to speak of, and to express.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">We are not living in the 24-hour news cycle, we are living at the edge of time. Newspapers and
media are completely unequipped and unable to deal with what we are experiencing. </span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Where is the language, what are the moves, and what are the images that might allow us to
comprehend the deep shifts and ruptures that we are experiencing? And how can we convey the
content of our lives right now not as reportage but experience?</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Theater is the artform of experience.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">In a world overwhelmed by vast press campaigns, simulated experiences, ghastly prognostications,
how can we reach beyond the endless repeating of numbers to experience the sanctity and infinity
of a single life, a single ecosystem, a friendship, or the quality of light in a strange sky? Two years of
COVID-19 have dimmed people’s senses, narrowed people’s lives, broken connections, and put us
at a strange ground zero of human habitation.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">What seeds need to be planted and replanted in these years, and what are the overgrown, invasive
species that need to be fully and finally removed? So many people are on edge. So much violence is
flaring, irrationally or unexpectedly. So many established systems have been revealed as structures
of ongoing cruelty.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Where are our ceremonies of remembrance? What do we need to remember? What are the rituals
that allow us at last to reimagine and begin to rehearse steps that we have never taken before?</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div>The theater of epic vision, purpose, recovery, repair, and care needs new rituals. We don’t need to
be entertained. We need to gather. We need to share space, and we need to cultivate shared space.
We need protected spaces of deep listening and equality.</div><div><br /></div><div>Theater is the creation on earth of the space of equality between humans, gods, plants, animals,
raindrops, tears, and regeneration. The space of equality and deep listening is illuminated by hidden
beauty, kept alive in a deep interaction of danger, equanimity, wisdom, action, and patience.</div><div><br /></div><div>In The Flower Ornament Sutra, Buddha lists ten kinds of great patience in human life. One of the most
powerful is called Patience in Perceiving All as Mirages. Theater has always presented the life of this
world as resembling a mirage, enabling us to see through human illusion, delusion, blindness, and
denial with liberating clarity and force.</div><div><br /></div><div>We are so certain of what we are looking at and the way we are looking at it that we are unable to
see and feel alternative realities, new possibilities, different approaches, invisible relationships, and
timeless connections.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is a time for deep refreshment of our minds, of our senses, of our imaginations, of our
histories, and of our futures. This work cannot be done by isolated people working alone. This is
work that we need to do together. Theater is the invitation to do this work together.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you deeply for your work.</div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="color: #073763;"><b><span style="background-color: white;">Peter Sellars, born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) is an opera, theatre and festival director who has gained international renown for his ground-breaking and transformative interpretations of classics, advocacy of 20th century and contemporary music, and collaborative projects with an extraordinary range of creative and performing artists.

Wishing everyone a very Happy World Theatre Day!
For people who have actively been working in the theatre, every day is considered World Theatre Day. Therefore, we have never celebrated World Theatre Day with a special ceremony or a special play. Through the course of the year, at many points during performances, every day, every moment offers different kinds of anguish, concerns and joy.
Questions like – “Why is theatre important?” or “Who is it important for?” – I cannot articulate/address in just a few words. At one time, theatre, for me, was just something I did only for my own happiness, but not anymore. Earlier when I practised theatre for myself, I’d have audiences applaud my performance in a particular play and praise me. The day after the show when I’d be recognised, I would feel that this was my identity, the purpose of theatre. However, as I kept practising, the concept of theatre expanded. I explored other forms of theatre, working with children, and then specially-abled children. And that is when my concept of theatre changed. Working with specially abled children I realised that theatre is not just for personal happiness. Theatre has the power to bring about change, perhaps not in society as a whole, but in individuals. I began to see theatre as therapy when I saw the progress in specially-abled children both physiological and psychological. Seeing these children blossom right before my eyes, I realised that theatre is a magical thing. Theatre is miraculous! Theatre makes anything possible. With theatre we can bring about any change we want, especially at an individual level. As a play unfolds, there is a gradual transformation, not only in audiences, but also in the actor, with every character. The actors put aside their own personality when the play begins and take on another character/role. As they start identifying with and embracing this character, they start understanding other people. In the process, unconsciously, they also develop a better understanding of society, of what is going on in the world. The socio-economic changes taking place, the upheavals, the neglect, the persecution. As they get a better understanding of this through the medium of theatre, a revolutionary spirit emerges in them.
Theatre is not just picking up a historical incident or a story and staging it, or children having fun on stage, or putting up a comedy. Even in a comedy, there has to be an awareness about what is happening in the now, our situation, the conditions that the others are in, the changes taking place around us in a geographical context, there is a flood somewhere, farmers are protesting elsewhere, a Dalit has been victimised, a temple is being built, a statue is erected, people are being exploited for selfish interests, religion is being used to bring about communal divisiveness. All these matters start affecting the minds of the director and the actors. Being affected thus and suffering the anguish starts reflecting in the performance, unknowingly. Truly, theatre is relevant. The events of the past, the present and the future, the direction that we are headed in. Theatre connects it all. Theatre cannot be isolated, cannot be viewed as just entertainment to amuse audiences. Is our purpose only to make people happy? Along with entertainment, theatre is a way to raise pertinent questions. It is a medium to address contemporary issues.
Audiences believe we are acting. Are we only acting? They think we are playing a ‘character’, staging a ‘play’, indulging in a ‘lie’. No, we are not lying. We believe this lie to be true. And by doing so we attempt to share this truth with the audience. We are not liars. How can we be liars if we are bringing truth to the lie? And that is why we theatre-wallahs suffer/struggle with anguish. Theatre can be entertainment for the audiences, but not so for the practitioners. Just as food and water are essential for one’s survival, so is theatre. If not, everything will available for a price and we will lose our sense of kinship and empathy. If there is anything we want to say, theatre is the only medium. If we turn our backs on this form, we will lose our vitality. We will become ‘nothing’. For theatre wallahs, this is an integral part of life.</span><p></p><p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">------------------------------</span></p><p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #800180; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">World Theatre Day Message 2021 <span style="font-weight: normal;"><i>by Helen MIRREN</i></span></span></h2><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
This has been such a very difficult time for live performance and many artists, technicians and craftsmen and women have struggled in a profession that is already fraught with insecurity.
Maybe that always present insecurity has made them more able to survive this pandemic with wit and courage.
Their imagination has already translated itself, in these new circumstances, into inventive, entertaining and moving ways to communicate, thanks of course in large part to the internet.
Human beings have told each other stories for as long as they have been on the planet. The beautiful culture of theatre will live for as long as we stay here.
The creative urge of writers, designers, dancers, singers, actors, musicians, directors, will never be suffocated and in the very near future will flourish again with a new energy and a new understanding of the world we all share.
I can’t wait!</span><p></p>QTPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01944741111826753686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119907740958561220.post-57457102348443752172020-03-27T11:14:00.003+05:302020-03-27T14:16:36.927+05:3027 MARCH | 2020<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

This month we start working on our new production - Bertolt Brecht's <i>Mother Courage and Her Children</i>. And we thought it would be appropriate to find our inspiration from his words.<br />
<br />
None will improve your lot, if you yourself do not. BB<br />
<br />
In light of the fact that June 5th is World Environment Day, these words really resonated with us. It is not only up to the Paris Accord or governments or Green Peace to make a difference. Every individual is responsible for the impact they make on the climate. As well as our immediate environment. Our present actions will become the legacy of the future. The past and the future are inextricably linked. It reminds me of the Australian play When The Rain Stops Falling which opens to the sound of falling rain in the desert regions of Alice Springs in Australia in 2039, and a fish falls from the sky! While the play moves back and forth in time from 1959 - 2039 and the dominant themes are family, betrayal, forgiveness and secret legacies, one cannot escape the sense of doom that the future holds in store. Despite all the science and technology, the future of our planet is unpredictable and human stories are timeless. We are defined by what came before us and are soon to be the shadow of the future. Without being preachy, this amazingly powerful production got each and everyone in the audience to sit up and take stock of the way we live our lives.<br />
<br />
It has been a summer full of wonderful shows opening and most memorable ones like Kyun Kyun Ladki closing down. Aadyam is going strong in its third edition and if you missed Gajab Kahani, you can read all about it in <a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/president.html" target="_blank"><b>Kalpak's Point of View</b></a>.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In his World Theatre Day Address, Ramu Ramanathan closes with a reference to a play about books (and ideas) - Les Combustibles. "A life without books (and indeed words) seems meaningless to them.". Last month we celebrated World Book Day on the 23rd, which is also William Shakespeare and Cervantes' death anniversary. Interestingly, not many realise that UNESCO organized the World Book Day for the first time as recently as 1995 and it was done with the aim to promote reading, publishing and copyright! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last month, theatre was also in the news with the Olivier Awards being announced on the 9th of April. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child created history with taking home 9 awards. As Lynn Gardner observes "its true success is in making theatre universally appealing". Harry Potter has managed to attract first time audiences and hopefully given them a reason to return to the theatre.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One can only hope to see a similar turn out of first-timers this summer with the mouth watering buffet of plays and workshops across the city. Young and old have a lot to look forward to in <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/coming-up.html" target="_blank">Coming Up</a></b>. Do check out the amazing line up of workshops and free events in <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/opportunities.html" target="_blank">Opportunities</a></b>. <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/aks-various-thoughts.html" target="_blank">Akarsh</a></b> struggles to catch up on all the plays he's been hearing about, while <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/president.html" target="_blank">Kalpak</a></b> addresses Elephant In The Room in his review. <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/dramatique.html" target="_blank">Quasar</a></b> muses on movement, musical and more in his Asian Age column.</span><br />

<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Every March we revisit the issues surrounding gender and what it means to be a woman and equality and feminism vs humanism. Recently I have been thinking a lot about what it means to be a woman in the theatre. How is the creative journey of a playwright, a director, an actress, a designer, a stage manager different if they are women. Are we so evolved in the arts that the gender question is moot? Is the barometer calibrated to measure creativity/craft and blind to gender? Then why do we see so few successful female directors and playwrights? </div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
The tide is definitely turning. There is change afoot. And it is very very exciting to witness and participate in this change. However, it is important to acknowledge that there is a degree of lop sidedness here that needs to be addressed and subsequently corrected. So that a successful playwright doesn't feel that her self esteem rests in her weight and her identity can only be complete when she marries a man!</div>

Almost as if to prove the point, this month we have quite a few plays led by women directors - read all about it in <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/coming-up.html" target="_blank">Coming Up</a></b>.

The last few months have seen the political conversation being placed front and centre. From passive paranoia to public protests, everyone around me has responded to the growing right wing sentiment sweeping across the globe. Britain moves towards rebuilding the financial and cultural walls in Europe. The US is on its way to building a brick-and-mortar wall as well as an immigration chasm. In our very own UP, constructing the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is back on the BJP election manifesto, along with free wifi and 1GB data.<br />
<br />
The last few weeks, we have received more than a few requests to revamp and bring back on stage our very popular production - The President is Coming. The Bushisms can easily be replaced with Trumpisms. However, I suspect that the current President's statements would be a tad offensive, even for a satire!<br />
<br />
You often hear about playwrights mirroring and critiquing society, but in some instances they are also prophets. Edward Albee's statement that we 'deserve' the democracy we live with, should be a wake up call to all. The current season of <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/great-texts-reading.html" target="_blank">Great Texts</a></b> focuses on Albee's vast body of work.<br />
<br />
Theatre has always been able to bridge the widest of divides. This month <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/4-corners.html" target="_blank">Rory de Brouwer</a></b> from Canada shares his story of meeting Daniele Bartolini from Italy and together performing for and with total strangers in different parts of the world. The Caucasian Chalk Circle - derived from a 14th century Chinese play, written in 1944 as a German play, performed in India over the decades in various languages, the latest in Hindi by the theatre students of Mumbai University. <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/dts-life-in-theatre.html" target="_blank">Dolly Thakore</a></b> reminisces about this classic.<br />
<br />
This month's issue has the regular stuff as well - <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/aks-various-thoughts.html" target="_blank">AK's various thoughts</a></b>, the most exciting shows <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/coming-up.html" target="_blank">Coming Up</a></b> this month, various theatre <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/opportunities.html" target="_blank">Opportunities</a></b>, <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/dramatique.html" target="_blank">Quasar</a></b>'s column in the Asian Age and <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/president.html" target="_blank">Kalpak's Point of View</a></b> on Stand Up.<br />

June sadly brought with it the passing of three great theatre people: one international, one national and one local; Peter Schaffer, K.N. Panicker and Darpan Mishra. And almost immediately, the clouds began to shed their tears in mourning.<br />
<br />
K.N. Panicker Malayalam plays made significant impact on India’s theatre scene; and Darpan Mishra was a much loved actor and regular of theatre company Ekjute. They will be sorely missed.<br />
UK Playwright Peter Schaffer also passed away this month, and therefore we thought it apt to dedicate our next <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/great-texts-reading.html" target="_blank">Great Texts Reading</a></b> season to him and twin his brother Anthony. Both formidable writers who authored some of the best loved modern plays.<br />
<br />
Taking from Peter Schaffers quote above, we at <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/qtp-updates.html" target="_blank">QTP</a></b> are in the process of giving body to a brand new play written by Arghya Lahiri, which will open in August.<br />
Celebrating writers seems to be the theme this month. The deadline for the Sultan Padamsee Award is approaching. Similarly there are plenty of newly written plays featured in <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/coming-up.html" target="_blank">Coming Up</a></b>, plus the regular Shakespeare and musical favourites.<br />
<b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/dts-life-in-theatre.html" target="_blank">Dolly Thakore</a></b> asks if the recent resurgence of revivals is a reflection on the lack of quality new texts, while <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/president.html" target="_blank">Priti Bakalkar</a></b> reviews one of these revivals. We also have a review from afar, as <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/4-corners.html" target="_blank">Matthew Wasser</a></b> talks about the intriguingly named <i>The Motherfucker with the Hat</i>, which he saw at London’s National Theatre.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/thespo-updates.html" target="_blank">Thespo 18</a></b> kicks off this month, and that is probably the best opportunity for anyone under 25 who wants to get involved with theatre. But, if you are above the age cut off, don’t fret, because there are quite a few listings in our <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/opportunities.html" target="_blank">Opportunities</a></b> section, including free talks, workshops and a lot more. Also new to The Script is a link to <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/dramatique.html" target="_blank">Quasar</a></b>’s Asian Age column, in which he shares his own unique perspective on theatre each fortnight.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The highlight of May has to be the many interactions with Sir Ian Mckellen. Well, to say I had 'interactions' might be pushing its definition a tad. But it was absolutely delightful and insightful to listen to the man share his views on theatre, film and LGBTQ issues with grace, humility and his characteristic sense of humour.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All the interviews, the speeches, the Q&A sessions I attended were full of quotable quotes by the legend. But the one that stayed with me was from his first conversation with Aamir Khan - "Shakespeare, like God, understands us all." Celebrating the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's passing, there are countless productions and films reliving his works. Making it contemporary or clowning with it or grappling with the text in an attempt to stay true to the original. No matter what the approach, the characters, above all else, are the one thing that stay with us. I cannot claim to have read his works extensively, but his characters resonate in all kinds of stories. In the problems of inheritance in Thithi or the desire to fit in to the mainstream race in Pele. All one can do is stay true to ourselves and embrace who we are. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This month we have three Shakespeare plays to look forward to in addition to folk tales and legends from Mahabharata and the Greek Myths. Of course, there is the next Aadyam premiere as well as stories set against the backdrop of riots in India. You do not want to miss the psychological thriller <b><a href="https://in.bookmyshow.com/mumbai/plays/verbums-veronicas-room/ET00041979" target="_blank">Veronica's Room</a></b>, from Delhi and all the three <a href="https://in.bookmyshow.com/plays/indian-ensembles-gasha/ET00011935" target="_blank"><b>Indian Ensemble</b></a> plays from Bangalore!

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes. It is summer. And yes, it is time for children's theatre. And it is heartening to see that there are so many theatre workshops and shows happening in May. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recently I came across another <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/stage/theatreblog/2008/nov/17/theatre"><b>feature by <span style="color: blue;">Lyn Gardner</span></b></a> talking about the role of theatre in introducing children to the real world. She contends that <i>"just as we must not be ruled by fear and must let our children go out on their own and make their own decisions, so should we let them go into that safest of arenas - the theatre - and confront the issues that they have to face in the real world."</i> I think there is a lot of merit in this proposition. A few years back I watched the Ranga Shankara (Bangalore) - Schnawwl National Theatre (Mannheim) co-production of <i>Boy With a Suitcase.</i> The story brought to life a young boy's journey from his strife ridden homeland to the 'promised land', in this case London. He and his mother have to navigate security personnel, refugee camps, transient friendships, sexual exploitation and existential questions of identity and homeland. The production did not dumb down the play for younger audiences, did not gloss over issues like using sex to gain favours in matters of life and death and did not romaticise the characters or the situations. It was an important story honestly told. About hanging on to one's humanity in difficult times. About tough decisions. It is a story that needs the telling even more in 2016, when thousands are fleeing war torn nations in the hope that their children will have a stab at a future, at adulthood and ageing. It is then imperative that young audiences are also given a glimpse of the harsher realities of the world around them and the potential of creating/finding beauty in it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A lot of the shows this season are staged versions of popular Western children's classics that we have been reading and watching for the last 50 years. It is easy and financially smart to do the tried and tested with colourful costumes and a few catchy tunes. But, the time is ripe for children's theatre to grapple with more relevant stories. Fortunately we have plays like<b> <a href="https://in.bookmyshow.com/plays/anju-kish-productions-growing-up/ET00030896">Growing Up</a></b> (a play on puberty), <a href="https://in.bookmyshow.com/booktickets_pth_1/?ename=gillo-theatre-repertorys-kyun-kyun-ladki&cid=PTHV&eid=ET00011517&sid=5913&ety=PL"><b>Kyun Kyun Ladki</b></a> (about a young curious mind) and <a href="https://in.bookmyshow.com/plays/ncpa-summer-fiesta-naeema-ek-udan-ki-kahani/ET00040923"><b>Naeema Ek Udaan Ki Kahani</b> </a>(about a poor young girl wishing to help her father support the family).

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">HAPPY WORLD THEATRE DAY!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What a wonderful <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/world-theatre-day-message.html" target="_blank">message</a></span></b> by Russian theatre director - Anatoly Vassiliev. He goes straight to the heart of the matter - Do we need theatre? And he answers it with a resounding Yes! "We need theatre that always remains different, we need theatre of many different kinds." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Every couple of years, I find myself asking similar questions. What is the point of the struggle to live a life practising theatre? What is the impact of what I do? What are the figures for eyeballs and footfalls, reach and conversation rate? What is the ROI and is our work even in the vicinity of trending? Is a good box office collection validation of a good show/play/production? What could I be doing in a parallel universe? I pontificate and drink lots of chai and mull some more and listen to the Les Mis soundtrack, amongst others. And no matter how many doubts plague me, no matter how adrift I feel, there is still something about Theatre that feels imperative. Compelling. Theatre can be the zeitgeist. It can be the embodiment of the oft used term - Carpe diem. And if I can be a part of that, there is no alternate reality required. I need theatre. And we need theatre wallahs of many different kinds. So let's put the existential crisis in cold storage for a few years and rejoice in all things 'Theatre'!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In that spirit, April promises an overwhelming number of <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/coming-up.html" target="_blank">shows</a></b>, of workshops, of free talks, of job vacancies. However, the highlight of the month has to be the <b><a href="http://writersbloc4.blogspot.in/" target="_blank">Writer's Bloc</a></b> festival which dominates all conversations and evenings out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our features, on the other hand are a bit of a travelogue. <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/4-corners.html" target="_blank">Sebastien</a></b> takes us to Montreal and we catch up with <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/aks-various-thoughts.html" target="_blank">Akvarious</a></b> as they return from yet another successful META visit to Delhi.

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Welcome back. Again. Hopefully, we will return to our former glory of being a <i><u>monthly</u> </i>e-newsletter with Kalpak joining the ranks to ensure that it happens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Recently our news feeds, our timelines, our dailies, our Whatsapp forwards and our playlists are dominated by stories of protest and dissent. Depending on who our friends are and the what we read, these nuggets reinforce our beliefs or question our choices or just downright infuriate us. In that, student revolutions are like great theatre – 'challenging how we think and encouraging us to fantasize about a world we aspire to’ (Willem Dafoe). This month, on World Theatre Day (i.e. 27th March), let us raise a toast to the power, the idealism and the transitory beauty of theatre.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can also celebrate theatre this month by catching as many plays as possible! There is Shakespeare and Mahabharata and youth theatre and comedy and children’s theatre and what have you. Not to mention free events and workshops. Even our features are dominated by Shakespeare – <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/4-corners.html" target="_blank">reviews of Hamlet</a></b> and <a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/president.html" target="_blank"><b>Juliet Aur Uska Romeo</b></a>. <a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/aks-various-thoughts.html" target="_blank"><b>Akarsh Khurana</b></a> and<b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/dts-life-in-theatre.html" target="_blank"> Dolly Aunty</a></b> open a window to their world, and there is always space for some theatre humour if you scroll down all the way on this blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hope you enjoy the read! Do share your thoughts and suggestions with us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Thank you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello and welcome to the October edition of The Script. Unfortunately we couldn’t send out the last three issues as we were undergoing some restructuring of the magazine. Presenting to you a slightly modified, slightly codified (literally, we had to do some coding for the plug ins), and slightly simplified version of the long running - QTP’s The Script! We hope you enjoy the new avatar and do share your thoughts, suggestions, feedback with us. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This month’s issue brings back all the regular columns. <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/dts-life-in-theatre.html" target="_blank">Dolly Thakore</a></b> on her recent stint at the NSD, <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/aks-various-thoughts.html" target="_blank">Akarsh</a></b>’s troupe constantly on the move, <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/president.html" target="_blank">Gitanjali </a></b>on Peele Scooter Wala Aadmi and our dear friend <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/4-corners.html" target="_blank">Daniel Bye</a></b> on his month-long spell at the EdFringe. <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/coming-up.html" target="_blank">Coming Up</a></b> highlights a few of the shows this month and all the <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/opportunities.html" target="_blank">Opportunities </a></b>in one place for those itching to do more than just watch a play!

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As we were putting together this issue last week, we kept getting distracted by very disturbing news about Agnes of God (by Poor Box Productions and scheduled to premiere on Monday 5 October at the NCPA). It is being plagued by a quasi-religious, quasi-political and quasi-fanatical “NGO” claiming that the play offends the religious sentiments of Christians. There is an <b><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/csf-appeal.html" target="_blank">appeal </a></b>circulating to ban the play which cites many reasons, of which here are three: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The size of the advertisement itself was threatening and showed the monies and the influential forces involved. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is Indian society ready to open a Pandora's box and open the floodgates of filth, with the play, Agnes of God being used to set a precedent?</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even if a true story, can such plays / films on exceptions be shown to negate what the religion actually is?</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the words of Aaron Sorkin, “I think more and more we have come to expect less and less of each other”. I believe our audiences are intelligent enough to distinguish an anomaly to the norm; are confident enough in their own faith to respect that of others; and are articulate enough to voice their own opinions once they have watched the play for themselves. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The appeal is a very tenuous web of outlandish reasons which, I suspect, have their roots in ignorance about what the play is really about. Distributed by Joseph Dias of the <b><a href="http://www.thecsf.org/home.html" target="_blank">Catholic Secular Forum</a></b>, the appeal has (surprisingly) found some traction and there are meetings and hearings being lined up as we speak. Maybe it is not so surprising given the current national climate and the momentum that banning “offending” items has gained. As preposterous as the appeal is, it stands to reason that it will be taken seriously. This year itself, we have read shocking news about the Tamilian writer Perumal Murugan being forced to withdraw his books and the Malayalam scholar M M Basheer’s column being stopped as he belonged to a different religion from his subject matter. Both these writers have put away their quills for good and only in time will generations realise their loss. But the most tragic manifestation of intolerance is the cold blooded murder of Kannada scholar and rationalist M M Kalaburgi in his own home. We have become a nation of violent intolerance. Our literary and artistic community is expected to create and thrive in the face of bans and death threats and bon fires of their work. People are easily offended and total annihilation seems to be the only solution. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We hope the theatre community (including you) will rally behind Agnes of God, and every other creative initiative that is not allowed expression. We hope that you will fight for your right to access all art and even be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXpFlTR-UEY" target="_blank">offended</a>. And we definitely hope that you will value your responsibility to be tolerant of diversity. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hello Theatre Folks,</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As the
summer vacations draw to a close, so does the city's season of children's
plays. So early June is the last chance to take your kids to the theatre and
catch some magical shows. AllmyTea's <i>Cycle Wala Michael</i>, Trishla Patel
directs <i>Growing Up</i> and it concludes with Joy Fernandes' <i>Chotu
Speaking</i>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For the
grown ups there's the NCPA Cheer! Festival which includes a revival of Masque's
<i>Black With Equal</i>. Some of our favourites like <i>Under the Chestnut
Tree, </i>Theatre Unit's <i>The Doll</i>, Mildly Classics' <i>Gardish Main
Taare</i> and Akvarious' <i>The Interview</i> return to Prithvi after
a long hiatus.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At QTP,
May was a busy time full of shows, workshops and premieres. <span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></span><!--[if !mso]>

opened to rave reviews, Q's workshop for the <i>Under The Tin
Roof</i> festival went very well, and the performance of <i><i><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/a-peasant-of-el-salvador.html"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>A Peasant of El Salvador</b></span></a>,</i> </i>at Blue Frog was very a great success. By comparison,
June is a little more relaxed. Quasar & Toral will be heading to the
Magnetic North Festival in Canada, and preparations for the Thespo 17
Orientation Meetings pick up speed. Also, <a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/great-texts-reading.html"><span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Great Texts</b></span></a> will be held on the 29th
of June. See you there!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello Theatrefolk,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We apologise
profusely for the delay in sending out the latest edition of The Script,
but who knew that May would be so busy. While I was busy with the
premiere of shows of 'The Hound of the Baskervilles', the rest of QTP
were tied up with the opening of 'The God of Carnage'. For this we are
sorry.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But May 2015, is strangely more active than ever.
As always there is plenty on offer for children: Rashmi Sharma's 'Peggy
Pane', Aranya's 'The Island' and 'T.Pot's 'Growing Up' at the NCPA,
Rangbaaz's 'James Aur Ek Giant Peach' at Smaash and Motley's 'Gadh-ha
Aur Gadd-ha', Aarambh's 'Tunni Ki Kahaani' and Actor's Cult 'Dhara Ki
Khanai' at the Prithvi Theatre.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Surprisingly this summer,
there is also plenty for the non-child as well: Black Boxer's 'Kind of
True Story', Aarambh's 'Umrao', Primetime's 'Boiled Beans on Toast',
Ace's 'Jesus Christ Superstar' and Essay's 'Tajmahal ka Udghathan'. Then
there is the Jeff Goldberg Studio festival, plus lots, lots more.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On
the QTP Front, we have just opened our new vicious comedy, <a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/the-god-of-carnage.html"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The God of Carnage</span></b></a>, and in case you missed it, we head to Delhi in July before
returning to Bombay in August. However we close out the month with a
unique theatre initiative: Theatre at Blue Frog. On the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_33774416" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">31st of May</span></span> we will be performing <i><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/a-peasant-of-el-salvador.html"><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>A Peasant of El Salvador</b></span></a>,</i> in a specially designed evening. Also <a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/great-texts-reading.html"><span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Great Texts</b></span></a> is on the 25th, so see you all there!!</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">April is
crackling with activity. The biggest news to share is that <i>Court</i> a
wickedly funny film about the absurd imprisonment of a theatre worker finally
releases on the 17th of April. It is a great insight into the repercussions of
the freedom of speech clamp downs on the performing arts community.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In
theatre, Yuki Ellias is opening a new show at Sitara Sudio called <i>Charge</i>
on the 26th, Makrand Deshpande's Ansh celebrates 21 years with a festival of
TEN plays, and some of our favourite plays are on offer, Akvarious' 'The Government
Inspector', Stagesmith's ' Bombay Jazz', Primetime's '9 Parts of Desire' and
Rangbaaz's 'Pitras Ka Ras'.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are
also plenty of theatre talks: Sunil Shanbag in conversation with Shanta
Gokhale, Satish Alekar on the Death of Theatre, Sunil Shanbag on the History of
Theatre, and UK theatre maker Daniel Bye will share excerpts of
work-in-progress <i>Going Viral</i>. Plus registrations are open to two very
special workshops, one by the Lee Strassberg Institute and the other by
Australian trainer Chris Edmund.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since
schools have begun closing, children's workshops and shows are
aplenty. VAIPA's opens up SMAASH as a new venues with 'Cinderella',
‘Beauty and the Beast’ & 'Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs'. Prithvi Theatre
plays host to Ansh's 'Krishna Kidding' followed by 'Rangbaaz's 'James Aur Ek
Giant Peach', Akvarious' 'Saraswati's Way', 'T-Pot's 'Wolf' and Working Title's
'The Boy Who Stopped Smiling'.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On
the QTP front we are using April to make 'plans and provisions'. Our new
play <b><span style="color: #660000;"><i>The God of Carnage</i></span></b> is in rehearsal and opens in mid-May,
Thespo 17 planning has begun in earnest, and we begin a new <b><a href="http://www.qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/great-texts-reading.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #741b47;">Great Text</span></a></b> season:
Digital Dramas. Hope to see you all there!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">March is here!! Lots of theatre to look forward too. META kicks off in
Delhi. Motley are having a theatre festival across the whole city. Along with
that, some plays to look forward to - Paresh Rawal's 'Kishan vs Kanhaiya'
returns, Essay Communication premier's 'Taj Mahal Ka Udhgatan', Rage's
presentation for the Aadyam Initiative ' The Siddhus of Upper Juhu' opens at
the NCPA and Sujay Saple opens his newest devised piece 'Moonfool'. March also
means the end of the school year, so some children's plays are playing - 'Peggy
Pane' and VAIPA premiers 'Cinderella'. World Theatre Day falls on the 27th of
the month, so make sure you do some theatrical!</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Its been two whole

apologize for that. We have been dealing with technical issues with our
software and yours truly has been away. But, We are Back!!! </span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A
lot of good theatre happened during our hiatus and many of those shows
return this month. Must see plays include Ace Theatre's 'Jesus Christ
Superstar', Akvarious' 'The Government Inspector', Motley's 'Einstein'
and Rangbaaz's 'Pitras Ka Raas'. There are premiers as well - Manhar Gadhia's 'Gardish Main Taare' and
Theatre Unit's 'The Doll'. Even some our favourites are returning - Raanbaaz's 'Bawla', Akvarious' 'Tuesdays
With Morrie', Masque's 'Bombay Talkies' and Aranya's 'Colour Blind'. Better buy your tickets early to avoid any
disappointments!!!</span></span></div>

too long. Our play <b><span style="color: #7f6000;"><a href="http://qtpthescript.blogspot.in/p/a-peasant-of-el-salvador.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #741b47;">A Peasant of El Salvador</span></a> </span></b> travels to Ahmedabad!! And

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 30<sup>th</sup> of October to the 2<sup>nd</sup>
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

here, which means if you aren't grooving to the Ganpati drums, you are looking
for a way to shut them out. And what better way to do that than a trip to your
local theatre. But remember, leave early so that you get there on time!!! </span></span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">July has begun with some startling news for the theatre world.
Zohra Sehgal, the grand dame of the Indian stage passed away on 10th July
2014. She was a 102. She lived a full live, on her own terms, and
thrilling people across the country and world with her brilliant
performances. She will be deeply missed. We at QTP have a special place
for her in our heart, as her recitation of "Abhi To Main Jawan Hoon" at
her Thespo Lifetime Achievement Award Presentation will always ring in
our year. Aapa, we hope we can be worthy of the torch that you carried
tirelessly for so many years.</span></span></div>
