What do you get when you put two of the country’s seasoned actors, a powerful script and a passion for theatre together? Ratna Pathak Shah’s directorial debut, A Walk in the Woods — a play about a young Indian diplomat, played by Rajit Kapoor, and his cynical Pakistani counterpart played by Naseeruddin Shah, engaging in peace talks outside the usual quagmire of bureaucratic boundaries. The play sees the two taking a walk in the woods to attempt a resolution of the issues between the two countries.
