Call it a cross-cultural play of the digital world. A US-based theatre group is using internet telephony software Skype to rehearse and communicate with its Indian cast in the capital for a play. The crew said its rigorous use of Skype was a reflection of the changing tools of theatre across the globe.

The play, "Success, Next Exit", was scripted by noted stage actor John Kishline 20 years ago and staged across the US by Theatre MXT. The production from Milawkee in Wisconsin has modified its script for its Indian run to include independent actor Kriti Pant, who works out of the national capital.
