Marathi Theatre Festival at NCPA

Amay Wagh

After almost about 10 years, National Centre For Performing arts (NCPA) have opened their doors to Marathi Theatre. From 7th August 2010 ‘Paratibimb Marathi Natya Utsav’ will begin here with mixture of contemporary Marathi Theatre, ranging from a Tale of sixteenth century saints to modern day relationships.
One does not know the reasons for discontinuance of Marathi stage from NCPA 10 years ago, but the news about this festival is certainly welcome. It will certainly encourage Marathi Theatre in south Mumbai as most of the theatres are in the suburbs.

During the festival which will go on between 7th August – 11th August 2010, the following plays will be performed. On 7th August at 6.30 pm it will be Avishkar’s ‘Baya Daar Ughaad’. On 8th August at 3 pm it will be Theatrics presentation ‘Ek Rikaami Baaju’ followed by ‘Geli Ekvis Varshe’ from Natak Company at 6.30 pm. On 9th August will be Lalit , Mumbai presentation ‘Ekmekaat’ and on 10th August Aasaakt KalaManch Pune will present ‘Anandbhog Mall’. On the last day, i.e. 11th August Kalakendra Pune will present ‘Mahapur’. Besides the presentation of these plays there will also be a talk show daily at 5pm before the shows
