It includes plays such as Big B (February 28, 8 pm), KL Saigal (March 1, 7.30 pm) and Ghalib in New Delhi (March 2, 7.30 pm). Big B is based on Premchand&rsquo;s story Bade Bhai Sahib. KL Saigal features actor Tom Alter narrating the life story of the singer-actor. Ghalib in New Delhi, revolves around Mirza Ghalib&rsquo;s second birth at his beloved Delhi.
Speaking about the event, Alam says the idea is to bring to the audiences a classic and two comic plays which have been performed all over India and abroad, but not very often in Mumbai. &ldquo;Together, the three plays offer the best of history, histrionics and humour. The emphasis is on humour. Even KL Saigal, which ostensibly is a serious play, has lots of scope for humour.&rdquo;
He adds that the message behind the festival is to encourage people to watch plays. &ldquo;They are worth it and cannot survive without the support from the ticket buying audiences,&rdquo; he concludes.
From February 28 to March 2 At Rangsharda Auditorium, KC Marg, Bandra Reclamation, Bandra (W). Call 39895050 / 9029986995 cost Tickets are priced at Rs 750, Rs 500, Rs 300 and Rs200
