Interesting is a word I’d use to describe the four plays at this NCPA META Fest. What can you tell us about the curation?
Bruce Guthrie: One of the key factors was to look at productions outside of Maharashtra. Productions in the state eventually find their way to our stage.

That explains the choice of four different languages and traditional forms
BG: Yes. For instance, The Old Man and The Sea: Kathakali of Morrow is a very clever adaptation of the form [of Kathakali] to tell Ernest Hemingway’s story. It is visually arresting, and filled with great performances.
