Aadyam Theatre is in its 5th year of producations and has already staged a couple of plays in Delhi. Their latest presentation Mosambi Narangi is anything but about seasonal fruits. It does however have a sense of season in it. We watched this fun play last weekend at Kamani Auditorium and were in splits.

Detective Nau Do Gyarah – A laugh riot by Aadyam
Aadyam is back with their 2018 season and the first presentation in Delhi was a Hindi comedy play Nau Do Gyarah. The play was a production by The Company Theatre and directed by Atul Kumar. Given that the plot was a comedy murder mystery, we really didn’t know what to expect.

Celebrity plays in Delhi attract fans for their professionalism and entertainment. “Wrong Number,” directed by Raman Kumar, stars a stunning Tanaaz Karim in a hilarious, must-see show.
Daddy in Doubt – Comedy Play by Tamasha Entertainment
Daddy in doubt – a new comedy play by Tamasha Entertainment is a mix of verbal and non-verbal comedy. The play predominantly focus on a brand of physical humor infused with beautifully worded punchlines. The entire cast is an ensemble from different walks of life giving an interesting flare of characters on stage. Enjoy the laugh riot this Saturday at Akshara Theatre, Delhi.
Loretta – An Aadyam play in Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2017
Loretta, a play by Sunil Shanbag and a part of Aditya Birla Group’s theatre initiative Aadyam was also staged during NSD’s Bharat Rang Mahotsav. This was a musical with songs in Konkani and English. Musicals are still a rare breed in Indian theater and we were very excited.
Hotel Paradiso – mask theatre by Familie Flőz, Berlin
Delhi’s theatre scene throws up a lot of experiences breaking geographical barriers. We frequently get to see productions from overseas. Hotel Paradiso from Berlin is a mask theatre production. This was a new for us.
Chakkar Chalaye Ghanchakkar – Comedy of Errors in Hindi
Aadyam’s last presentation from its series of plays for this year was “Chakkar Chalaye Ghanchakkar”. This was a light hearted comedy based on Shakespeare’s much adapted play Comedy of Errors. In line with the earlier Adyam plays, this comprised a star studded cast who performed to a full house at Kamani Auditorium in the course of multiple shows over a weekend.
Ballabhpur ki Roopkatha – play directed by Sunil Rawat
Badal Sircar, the renowned playwright wrote in Bangla. However, his works transcend linguistic boundaries and have enormous human appeal. The Hindi play Ballabhpur ki Roopkatha is translated from Sarkar’s Bengali comedy Ballabhpurer Roopkatha and has been enacted by various theatre groups. Alongwith the comedy, the intelligent plot and the artistic visualization makes it a hit with audience anywhere. Ballabhpur ki Roopkatha was recently staged at India Habitat Centre. This was directed by Sunil Rawat and we recently went to see this presentation.
Refund – Weekend play at LTG auditorium
It is an unusual situation that somebody asks for a refund of his school fee since he is a failure in life. Square heart productions staged a comedy play Refund based on this theme. We watched this play at LTG last weekend.
Kamdeo Ka Apna Basant Ritu Ka Sapna – Hindi play
Sangeet Natak Academy had organised a week long theatre festival “Natya Samagama” during 9- 17 January, 2016. They exhibited various pieces of contemporary theatre as well as traditional or folk theatre forms. On the last evening, they presented a mainly Hindi / Chhatisgarhi play – “Kamdeo Ka Apna Basant Ritu Ka Sapna” by the group “Naya Theatre” of Bhopal. This is Habib Tanvir’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. We were most curious to look at this rather plucky attempt to present the extremely popular humour “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in Hindi and …Chhatisgarhi!
“Couple Trouble” featuring Kashmira Shah had more than a couple of troubles
A forgettable play that attempts to ride solely on the physical appeal of Kashmira Shah. Audience deserves better and we would not recommend this play even if the tickets are distributed free of cost.
