[Reader-list] Taj Mahal ka tender , Hindi theatre of the day

[Ravikant]

Dear Supreet,

I know some people on the list who have been doing theatre in Delhi for some 
time and they would be in a much better position to respond but generally 
speaking I agree with you. There is so much recycling(of Mohan Rakesh, 
Sarveshwar, Girish Karnad and Habib Tanveer) going on in Hindi thatre that it 
looks like there isn't much new coming up. Have we witnessed a shift of 
market value of NSD in recent years? What with Anupam Kher et al, products of 
NSD, also seen as its success stories, now joining the bandwagon of new 
acting schools? I know Arvind Gaur's group Asmita is fairly active and I know 
there is a critical discourse around the NSD publication Rang Prasang. But 
the hindi theatre scene has not looked as exciting as it once did, in Act One 
days for example. I could be wrong and would be very happy to be corrected.

cheers
