Imagine being seated alone in a cafe or a bar and bumping into God. Most of us would have questions we would want to ask God. When God Said Cheers, a play written by Anurag Kashyap, brings alive this scenario in a funny, yet poignant way. The play that casts Cyrus Dastur as the common man and Tom Alter as God, received rave reviews since its debut in 2003. After a five-year hiatus, it returns to Mumbai stage, this weekend.

We asked Dastur whether returning to the stage after a long gap warranted for changes in the play: “The play is constantly evolving but the basic structure is the same, like wine that gets better with time,” says Dastur. “If you watch it on Saturday, and again on Sunday, you will see a difference. There are people who watch as many shows as possible and many have come up and told me they have watched 25 or 30 shows of this play, till date,” he adds.
