Top Theatres In Delhi To Watch Plays
There is no dearth of theatre options in Delhi NCR. There are many venues in Delhi to watch plays. Here is a list of theatre halls where the best plays in Delhi are staged. They all create a vibrant theatre culture in Delhi.
Mosambi Narangi – A Dark Comedy Play by Aadyam
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.
The Kite Runner – The Famous Book is Now An Aadyam Play
It is time for a new season of Aadyam plays in Delhi. Aadyam Season 5 is already into its second presentation. The latest production was something that would excite all book lovers. Khaled Hussaini’s debut and the most loved novel “The Kite Runner” was adapted for a stage production. The play was directed by Aakarsh Khurana and ran a full house that included us.
Reviving The Lost Art of Story Telling
Dastangoi is the lost art of storytelling in Urdu. The Dastangoi Summer Festival 2019, organised by Dastangoi Collective, at Akshara Theatre was held between 11 to 13 July, 2019 and ran full houses.
Queen of Rock – Musical play for a cause
While recently released Bohemian Rhapsody is still running in cinema halls, we watched a musical play based on the band Queen and its famous lead singer with Indian roots, Freddie Mercury. The musical play was organised to spread awareness on cervical cancer.
Hello Farmaish – An Aadyam Play
As we all know by now, Aadyam is the theatre initiative of the Aditya Birla group. They are in their fourth season and the second play was Hello Farmaish. We watched this production last Sunday at a packed Kamani Auditorium, New Delhi.
Macbeth – Play by Tamasha Entertainment
Macbeth is perhaps among the most enacted plays by Shakespeare. It has been translated in myriad languages and performed across the globe, such is the legacy. Given the popularity, it is a tall order to attempt such a popular piece. To this end, Tamasha Entertainment and Rajul Khare’s production Macbeth is clearly a bold enterprise. We are happy to have watched it last weekend.
Samantak Teerth – A play by Aadyantara
Radhashtami – the divine Consort Radha’s birthday was celebrated last weekend mainly in Barsana and Vrindavan. We landed up celebrating this event dramatically. We watched Samantak Teerth, a play based on the life of Shri Krishna. Staged by Adadyantara and scripted and directed by Dr. Madhuri Subodh, the venue was LTG Auditorium.
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.
Disney’s Aladdin in Delhi
The City of Djinns has a different genie visiting these days. Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium is hosting the Disney production Aladdin in Delhi from 6th July to 15th July. We were fortunate to be able to catch the spectacular show on the opening evening.
Dreamz – Sehar A play by Pankaj Kapur
Thespian Pankaj Kapur has planned a selection of plays on dreams and the first in this series, Dreamz Sehar, was recently staged at Siri Fort, New Delhi. The theme had us all excited and we had to watch Sehar. But we were not alone in our dream journey. Serpentine queues at the Siri Fort entry that evening proved that we had enough co-passengers sharing our aspirations.
Curtain Closes on 8th Theatre Olympics in India
The 51 days long theatre extravaganza – the 8th Theatre Olympics dropped curtains last evening. Theatre Olympics is held every 4 years and this year it was hosted by National School of Drama under the aegis of Ministry of Culture, Government of India. 51 days of theatre and how we say!
Across the Sea – Puppet Play at Theatre Olympics
NSD’s Theatre Olympics is a melange of plays in all possible genres – from comedy to tragedy – from nouveau experiments to traditional nautanki – from song and dance based musicals to non verbal plays. We managed to watch a multitude of styles in this theatre extravaganza this year. “Across the sea”, directed by Anurupa Roy was probably the first puppet play we watched in this festival. Puppets are a great story-telling medium and we welcome the inclusion of this genre in this annual theatre bonanza.
Julius Caesar Spared Parts – Play at Theatre Olympics
Bharat Rang Mahotsav, NSD, i.e., National School of Drama’s annual theatre festival is bigger this year. It is 8 Theatre Olympics and a host of plays from India and abroad is being held as part of the festival. We recently watched Julius Caesar Spared Parts – a production from Italy over the weekend.
