Buddha
written and directed by Sujit Saraf
(in Hindi, with supertitles in English)
Naatak’s annual musical is set in the sixth century BCE and written entirely in rhyme. The play follows the life of Siddharth as he leaves his father’s palace, travels to Rajgir, attains enlightenment in Gaya to become “Gautam Buddha”, preaches his first sermon near Varanasi, criss-crosses the kingdoms of Magadh and Kaushal to persuade the world, and alters the course of human history. The play will feature an ensemble cast, live music and dance.

The Miser
written by Moliere, adapted and directed by Manish Sabu
(in Hindi, with supertitles in English)
Hilarity ensues when a miser seeks to marry his daughter, his son, and himself on the cheap (obviously). This classic comedy by French playwright Moliere is as fresh today as it was in 1668, when it was staged for the first time.
