It’s Parsi New Year on August 18, which means the city’s theatres will celebrate with some of the best stage performances that come with the slapstick humour that Parsi plays are known for. The best part? Each play has two shows, which means — and we have worked this out — you don’t really have to choose. The only hitch is, they are in Parsi Gujarati, but we reckon if you’ve lived in Mumbai for over a year, you’ll get the hang of it.

This play is an adaptation of the English play, Boeing Boeing, about a young man juggling three girlfriends — all air hostesses, living in the same house. Sounds like a film? Watch it on stage.
