Dear Readers,

Ila Arun's theatre group Surnai will be opening its new production DEATH VARIATIONS by Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse at the NCPA and at Prithvi theatre. This will be the first time that the play will be staged in India. Jon Fosse is regarded among the best contemporary playwrights working in Europe today. The production has been directed by KK Raina and features Ila Arun, Joy Sengupta, Vijay Kashyap and Aadya Bedi.

Following this play, the group will also stage PEER GHANI, their adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's PEER GYNT, which opened at the Ibsen festival in Mumbai last year. The Indian adaptation by Ila Arun is located in Kashmir.

Our latest reviews include the plays PAI PAISHACHI GOSHTA (Marathi), BIN KAMAACHE SANVAD (Marathi), TARKACHYA KHUNTIVARUN NISATLELE RAHASYA (Marathi) and THE GOD OF CARNAGE (English).

Thespo, India's popular youth theatre festival is inviting entries. For those who are 25 years of age and younger, the festival offers a great opportunity and platform to stage their plays professionally. The festival is open to young people across the country.

Tamaasha Theatre under Sunil Shanbag's direction will stage BLANK PAGE- a theatrical presentation of select contemporary Indian poetry this weekend at the Max Mueller Bhavan.

Cheers,
Deepa Punjani
