Dear Reader,
As the NCPA Centrestage Festival gets
underway, we feature Kalki Koechlin's interview. The
actress who has worked in theatre, film and television is
set to premiere her stage directorial debut THE LIVING
ROOM at the festival this weekend. In our interview with
her, she talks about the play, which she has also written,
and about what theatre means to her.
We also feature Uttam Gada's interview based on his
play WHATSUP? which is also part of the festival
showcase this weekend. The play has been directed by
Manoj Shah. It features actor Chirag Vora in a
solo performance. Uttam bhai is a senior writer in Gujarati
theatre and has written screenplays too for Hindi
films.
Other upcoming plays at the festival include Kopal
Theatre's SHARAD JOSHI EXPRESS; Motley's PARINDON KI
MEHFIL, a stage adaptation of the poem 'Conference of
the Birds'; Taleem's SPANDAN; FATS' production
titled 7/07/07; Jhoom's ISHQ AAHA and
others.
Watch our homepage for more interviews with select writers
participating in the festival. Vikram Phukan's THE

In collaboration with the festival, we have also organised
our eNatya Chaupal programme with

talk of their production THE SONG OF THE SWAN. eNatya
Chaupal is our unique web hangout for all things theatre.
