Last November, when Prithvi Theatre turned 40, it ensured there is enough drama as part of the birthday celebrations. The theatre — built in Mumbai’s Janki Kutir by Jennifer Kendal and Shashi Kapoor in memory of Prithviraj Kapoor — for the last four decades has been the backbone of Mumbai’s theatre culture by consistently trying to build an audience as well as nurturing talents. The celebrations kicked off at Mumbai’s Royal Opera House on November 3 with the revival of thespian Prithviraj Kapoor’s play Deewar opening the theatre’s annual festival. Sunil Shanbag reimagined Deewar, which had originally premiered in 1945 at the Opera House and talks about divisive politics. Another highlight of the festival was Ratna Pathak Shah-directed The Truth.
