It will be sheer coincidence when Tata Literature Live!, which is hosting the Sultan Padamsee Playwriting Awards on Sunday, will remember not one, but two veterans from the Padamsee family.

The awards - first instituted in 1966 by the Theatre Group Bombay in memory of their founder poet, actor and director Sultan (Bobby) Padamsee - will pay a special tribute to his brother Alyque at the Little Theatre, NCPA, said Anil Dharker, founder-director of the literary festival. Speaking to mid-day, Dharker said, "We are dedicating the event to him, because this award is about plays, and though Alyque was an advertising man all his life, his contribution to theatre was incredible and immense."
