For theatre director and producer Sunil Shanbag, the online space has opened up the possibilities of doing different things related to theatre and not just performances alone. So, as the co-founder of Tamaasha Theatre that is interested in a much wider definition of the art form, it made perfect sense to blend history and sociology, too. Thus, they started a series called Theatrenama, an ongoing monthly-programme where they look at the history of theatre and its making. This weekend, as part of the series, they will be looking at the history of theatre in Bombay from 1776 to 1896.
