In 1983, my mother organised the first festival celebrating Prithvi Theatre’s fifth birthday, which included the best performances from five years," says Kunal Kapoor, trustee, Prithvi Theatre. The theatre was built four decades ago in memory of Indian theatre and cinema veteran, Prithviraj Kapoor, by his son and daughter-in-law, Shashi and Jennifer Kapoor. "The festival is an annual event held on Prithvi Theatre’s birthday, and we pick performances of interest to all ages," he adds about the fest that allows anyone six years onwards into the venue.
