Naseeruddin Shah Is Bringing His Whole Family And A Stellar Comedy To Town

What Is It?

Star actor and thespian, Naseeruddin Shah is bringing Stephen Leacock’s hilarious Riding Madly Off In All Directions to town this month. And that’s not all. His whole family makes up the cast! Expect this one to really bring to life the satirical piece that will bring together stories that have not even the remotest connection to begin with. It may seem a bit absurd at first, but if you’re good with clever and subtle humour, then you’ve got to go.

Who Is It For?

Essentially, it’s for anyone who appreciates theatre. And that too, ridiculously good comedy. If you’re a fan of Stephen Leacock’s writing, then you’ll enjoy this even more. But if you’re none of the above, then just go if you’re looking to have a grand old time. Everyone needs a good laugh now and then.

Why Should I Go For It?

When Naseeruddin Shah is on stage, there’s no need to question why you should go. But when you add his wife and veteran actor, Ratna Pathak Shah, and children, Heeba Shah, Imaad Shah and Vivaan Shah {also all actors} to the cast, you’ve got a solid winner. The whole lot of them will enact and explore the various aspects of humour {including what is strictly NOT humour} – from the tragically dystopic to the downright nonsensical. Oh, and the best part is that it’s all for charity. Surely, you’re not still wondering if you should go…
