Gaurav Singh Actor, Director [Hindi Theatre ] The most hilarious play you have ever seen HAMLET �THE CROWN PRINCE. It was humorous, with a very innovative script and impeccable acting. The use of gibberish was hilarious. The perfect body language of actors in the play and the style in which the unwritten text is conveyed makes it enthralling and spellbinding. How do you regard the Mumbai theater scene? When it comes to theatre in different, regional languages, Mumbai has been at the forefront. But when it comes to plays in Hindi and English, most of us seem to find solace in the experimental category. Our canvasses could be bigger and we could cater to a larger audience. Your favourite play-character... Vijay Tendulkar's Sakharam Binder. The character is so strong and complex. He is a man who doesn't believe in societal norms. He is opportunistic and a tyrant master who demands satisfaction for his sexual needs from all the women he provides shelter to. At the end he falls into a trap of one such woman and becomes the victim. This makes his strong character also vulnerable. Your favourite playwright... Mohan Rakesh. His plays resonate with diverse emotions, at times throwing us out of our comfort zone. In most of his plays he delves deep into the man � woman relationship and finds that they are the cause of each other's happiness and misery. He wrote about aspiration and was a great storyteller. His placement of words in a sentence makes his writing compelling and thought provoking. Can you think of a foreign production that you find remarkable and why? It would be WAR HORSE based on the novel by Michael Morpurgo and produced by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company. I was completely blown away by it. It was an amazing show with great puppetry. I was on the edge of the seat throughout the play. The thing that I loved most about the show was that it had so much thrill and fear. The suspense and anticipation of what going to happen next was really frightening and amazing. It was a spectacular artistic production which still haunts me.   read / post your comments More Speaks Aakanksha Gade Abhishek Pattnaik Adhaar Khurana Adhir Bhat Theatre Speak Aish Pandit Theatre Speak Ajitesh Gupta Akanksha Gupta Akarsh Khurana Akriti Singh Akshat Nigam Akshay Shimpi Aman Gupta Aman Gupta Theatre Speak Amit Behl Amol Parashar Anand Tiwari Ankit Soni Anubha Fatehpuria Apara Mehta Archana Patel Nandi Arghya Lahiri Arnesh Ghose Arun Kakade Aseem Hattangady Ashish Saleem Ashutosh Potdar Ashwin Gidwani Asif Ali Beg Atul Kumar Atul Satya Koushik Azaad Bhakti Rathod Bhushan Korgaonkar Bijon Mondal Boman Irani Brajesh Hirjeev Chaitanya Tamhane Charudatta Bhagwat Chirag Vohra Theatre Speak Chitralekha Rathod Chitransh Pawar Cyrus Dastoor Damini Kanwal Danesh Irani Darrshan Jariwalla Debobrata Banerjee Deepika Deshpande Amin Deesh Mariwala Delna Patel Devika Shahani Punjabi Dhanendra Kawade Theatre Speak Dharmendra Gohil Dhruv Lohumi Dilnaz Irani Dinesh Thakur Dinyar Tirandas Divya Jagdale Divya Palat Dolly Thakore Faezeh Jalali Theatre Speak Gaurav Singh Geeta Manek Theatre Speak Gurleen Judge Hardik Sangani Harsh Desai Harshal Singh Hidayat Ali Sami Hilda David Himanshu Singh Howard Rosemeyer Hridaynath Jadhav Hussaini Dawawala Huzan Wadia Imran Rasheed Inaayat Ali Sami Ira Dubey Ishitta Arun Jagdish Rajpurohit Jaimini Pathak Jaimini Pathak1 Jameel Khan Janak Toprani Jasvinder Singh Jayati Bhatia Theatre Speak Jaydeep Apte Jim Sarbh Joy Fernandes Joy Sengupta Jyoti Vyas Kajal Gadhia Kamlesh Mota Kamlesh Oza Karthik T M Ketan Karande Khanjan Thumber Kulvinder Bhakshish Kumud Mishra Kyla D'Souza L J Mehta Theatre Speak Lillete Dubey Lubna Salim Maanvi Gagroo Mahabano Mody Kotwal Manali Kale Manasi Prabhakar Joshi Manaswini Lata Ravindra Mandar Chandwadkar Maneesh Verma Manish Gandhi Mansi Multani MD Pallavi Meena Vaibhav Theatre Speak Meenal Patel Meher Acharia Dar Meherzad Patel Mikhail Sen Mohit Agarwal Mohit Sharma Mujeeb Khan Nageen Tanvir Nagesh Bhosale Naman Mukherji Namit Das Namrata Pathak Theatre Speak Naseeruddin Shah Naushil Mehta Naushil Mehta (Part II) Nazneen Madan Neelam Gheewala Neha Singh Nipun Dharmadhikari Nivedita Baunthiyal Om Katare Omkar Bhatkar Padma Damodaran Parag Dubey Paromita Chatterjee Pathy Aiyar Pradnya Shastri Prajakt Deshmukh Pramod Pathak Pranati Prakash Rai Pranay Gupta & Sohini Gupta Pratik Gandhi Pratik Kothari Pratima Kulkarni Preeta Mathur Pritesh Sodha Priyanshu Painyuli Quasar Thakore Padamsee Radha Bhardwaj Rahul Antani Rahul Valmiki Raj Yadav Rajeev Ravindranathan Rajendra Gupta Rajit Kapoor.
