Kudos to Faezah Jalali and Nikhil Katara

For the publication of their plays in an anthology by Arts & Climate, that features playwrights from across the globe

Standing ovation to Himali Kothari for the publication of her play as well as a performance in Graz last June

[Ramu Ramanathan @BoodhuRamu]

Two simple playwriting exercises to help YOU start

Chekov penned a gentle satire (one act play) about marriage called Proposal

- What is Act II of Chekov's Proposal. Write the opening scene

- If your favourite playwright wrote Chekov's Proposal, how would he / she write it?

[Ramu Ramanathan @BoodhuRamu]

Two playwriting tips

- Translate a play from one language into another. Translating has helped me a lot

- Adapt a short story into a play. A short story because you have the characters and plot; and you don't have to fret too much about creating afresh. Look at Chekov or Gogol

This theatre festival has always exemplified that which is most vigorous and original on the Marathi stage

Ambu and Rajalakshmi is happening

Part I was penned in 2013 and never staged

Part II was penned in 2015 after I read Part I at a philosophy seminar at the Bombay University in Kalina

There was a staging later; two shows

A play that evaporated forever ...
