Vivan Roshan as Ram and Taanya Kapur as Sita

Whether as classical renditions of the original or as re-tellings with new and improvised endings, great epics can stand the test of time. A new play by Raell Padamsee's ACE Productions is along these lines. Titled Rediscover the Epic, the play, which has a cast of 150 children and young adults, stages over the coming weekend at the recently restored Royal Opera House Theatre.
