The information in this post might be outdated

What Is It?

A multi-lingual musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, set in a fictitious Indian town. Directed by Atul Kumar, this play has been receiving favourable reviews all over the world. Unfamiliar with the original? We'll decode it for you: Orsino is in love with Olivia. Olivia is not in love with Orsino. But will he somehow be able to win her heart, even if it is through trickery? Then, there's also the revolt of the household staff against Olivia's steward, Malvolio. Got it? Good. Now go watch it.

Who Is It For?

Anyone who’s ever enjoyed the works of the Bard. This retelling hasn’t failed to enthrall audiences yet.

Why Should I Go For It?

Piyaa Behrupiyaa scores on multiple counts. This play is a brilliant remix of the classic Shakespearean comedy. With its nautanki-style of performance, wonderful music {think folksy}, flamboyant acting, Piyaa Behrupiyaa is loud, lovely and will appeal to your inner Bollywood-meets-desi soul.
