A Rajat Kapoor play would be one of the best introductions to theatre for a first-timer. When filmmaker, cinematographer and director Siddhartha More was taken for Kapoor’s Nothing Like Lear at Prithvi Theatre, his first play, he did not expect to be entertained as much as he was. This movie buff pursued the theatre streak that the play ignited. Curious and excited, More knew he wanted to invest his creative abilities in this art form. Marrying his work in short films with theatre, he approached Kapoor in 2015 with the idea of documenting the filmmaker and actor’s artistic process. At the time, Kapoor was deep into rehearsals for Macbeth and invited More to capture whatever his cameras aimed to. The result was the documentary Clowning with Shakespeare, which will be screened at Harkat Studios this weekend.
