Over 17 days, veteran actor Tom Alter will give 33 performances, playing an array of historical characters, for his dream theatre project
Starting March 17, the festival will open with a blend of music, poetry and drama. The following days will see a play based on Karna Kunti Samvad written by Rabindranath Tagore, while The Last Annals of Alamgir by Ranjit Hoskote about Emperor Aurangzeb in his twilight years will also be dramatised. Known for his fluent Urdu, Alter will pay tribute to Urdu literary greats through poetic plays.
Other noted artistes joining Alter include Mallika Sarabhai and Sudhir Pandey. "It's a dream project, and we are doing it without sponsors," shares Alter.
