All art is conversation, they say. Even between art forms, suggests Raell Padamsee. The theatremaker is in the midst of preparations ahead of the showcase of Shakespeare & Alyque Live On tonight at the Pundole Art Gallery in Ballard Estate.

An art gallery is certainly a novel choice for the venue.
