The shahs of drama
If watching Naseeruddin Shah perform is a joy, wait till you see the entire family on stage. In Riding Madly Off In All Directions, a play that will be staged at the Centrepoint Theatre, DUCTAC, the Shah family comes together to tell five different tales that are as humorous as they are dark. The play, based on a set of stories written by British-born Canadian political scientist Stephen Leacock, stars Naseeruddin, Ratna Pathak, Imaad, Vivaan and Heeba Shah in important roles. All the details are available on www.ductac.org/theatre.
