“He was an artist, philosopher, palmist, actor, all put into one. He was very dynamic,” reminisces Sam Kerawala who is the director of Laughter in the House: A Tribute to Adi Marzban. This stage performance will be a classic Parsi Gujarati theatre performance with a mix of gags, revues and songs that were written by the icon. The performance is a presentation by Jam-e-Jamshed Publications (of which Marzban also served as editor) in association with the NCPA.
