Isheeta Ganguly writes: “One of my Mumbai-born theatrical productions (Shakuntala Awaits) has just gone off-Broadway in New York City, which has been covered by a number of prestigious publications in India. The HERE theatre in New York City ran the play virtually until April 3. My two brilliant and widely known actors, Purva Bedi and Samrat Chakrabarty, both Hollywood and theatrical talents, showcased in diasporic American mainstream shows and films, give the show its power. I have rewritten the play to include a COVID thread in one of the lead character’s narratives and audiences in New York City thus far have found that very moving. The piece is a dram-com love story set within the backdrop of love and loss all too present for all of us in varied shades amidst this pandemic.”
