5) Favorite stage to perform on
QUICK 8
Prithvi Theatre. That stage can bloody change lives, we swear.
1) First play you ever watched
6) Favorite genre of theatre
It’s really hard to tell since our quintessential Bengali parents dragged us to theatre auditoriums from an early age. Vague memories.
Everything looks and sounds better with the right dose of comedy. Not too much, not too less.
2) Best theatre adventure Chanda Dutta’s version of Bertolt Brecht’s Three Penny Opera, starring Anjan Dutta. Ruthless, raw and unadulterated, that was an unforgettable theatrical experience.
3) If you had the choice of meeting one theatre veteran, dead or alive, who would you choose Utpal Dutta. He was a “rockstar” back in his times.
4) Funniest goof up on stage In one of our first plays, an entire scene was so messed up that the dancer forgot his cue to enter. The actor on stage had to break character and literally loudly summon him to the stage!
7) Biggest theatre dream you hope to achieve Our very own active and fully functioning theatre space and a theatre startup that offers lucrative full time theatre jobs.
8) What sparked the drama in you - a defining moment when you decided you wanted to do theatre One of our first dreams as a group was making it to Thespo. And within one year of formation, we made it to Thespo Fringe in 2012. The happiness was unforgettable. We realized this is what we have always wanted to do.
