Finally, the weekend is here and we’re very relieved! While some have their weekends sorted beforehand, well, kudos to you. However, for those who don’t, we’ve got you covered. Especially, for you theatre enthusiasts!
Do you just LOVE watching plays? Is watching a play cathartic or therapeutic to you? Are you of the opinion that plays, though (almost) similar to movies, are still less predictable as compared to the latter? Or do you just simply love the fine art of stagecraft? Or do you just love the drama, oh the drama!
Well, as you already know Delhi keeps hosting a number of interesting plays and theatre events almost every month. We have curated a list of 3 plays that not only seem to have interesting plotlines but are also inspired by timeless works of literature!
