Stop doing old plays, write from life: Makarand Deshpande

Expressing his disappointment in new actors doing theatre “as per curriculum”, veteran director and actor Makarand Deshpande here said that people need to “write new plays based on life experiences”.

“Theatre institutes all over the country are following curriculums, people should create new plays from their life’s experiences. For how long will we keep doing old plays?

“People are still doing Shakespeare, Ghashiram Kotwal, Romeo-Juliet and Waiting for Godot, all these are good plays.
