Something wicked this way comes🌟
What happens when Shakespeare’s greatest plays find themselves in the hands of some of India’s most brilliant storytellers?
Hamlet broods anew, Macbeth plots in the dark, love turns stranger than ever one Indian winter, and Othello smolders with fresh fire. Parvati Sharma, Jeet Thayil, Nisha Susan and Mirza Waheed are reimagining the Bard—one unforgettable novel at a time.📖
Coming soon. Stay tuned.✨
