Commissioned by London’s Globe Theatre, The Company Theatre, one of Mumbai’s most innovative theatre groups, created a Bollywood-meets-Shakespeare musical adaptation of Twelfth Night. A runaway success, the contagiously joyful Piya Behrupiya has since been performed nearly 100 times across India and around the world. IN HINDI WITH ENGLISH SURTITLES
“Fun? Definitely. Accessible? Completely, even if you didn’t speak the language” — The Guardian
“Delights with an originality of its own.” — Mumbai Theatre Guide
“Outstanding. The sheer ingenuity Atul Kumar has given Piya Behrupiya and his creative vision is proof that theatre direction in India has reached a level, which even the best talents in Bollywood will struggle to match. If you think theatre is ‘boring’ this play will break all those notions and make you a fan.” — Times of India
“Refreshingly, with their silly humour, carefree dancing and brilliant colour, this ensemble acknowledge the play’s light-hearted status and deliver a bold powerfully casual piece that is, more than anything, just a whole lot of fun.” — Stage Impressions
