With the idea of revisiting the works of great Indian playwrights, Deepa Gahlot, head – programming theatre and films, national Centre for Performing Arts, will be curating a series called NCPA Classics. "People tend to believe that theatre is for the moment.


A still from the play, A Friend's Story, which is an english translation of Vijay Tendulkar's Mitrachi Goshta 

India has such a rich heritage of both classic and contemporary playwrights whose works though popular once upon a time, have been forgotten today. It also helps one understand the playwright and the times a little better. There are many playwrights like Girish Karnad and Satish Alekar, who are still writing plays but people don't get a chance to see their older works as they are not staged anymore," explains Gahlot.
