Classics come with a formidable reputation. You ought to know them, have read or watched them, and inevitably, liked them. But it is only when you engage with them that you realise they don't often reveal themselves at once. They linger on in the subconscious, long after you have read them, unravelling one layer at a time, in the most unexpected context.

That's the genesis of Raam Ji Aayenge, a production adapted and directed by Abhinav Grover, which explores the intertextuality of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot and the Kishkindha Kaand in the Ramayana, and premieres this weekend.
