Whenever one thinks of theatre, the mind is immediately flooded with pictures of a stage partly filled with props, empty seats in auditoriums and people running helter-skelter with bits of paper in their hands, or at least this is what college rehearsals showed us. But as it turns out, the stage and space for theatre can be anywhere. Taking the Bard’s famous line to its literal sense, The Company Theatre (TCT) is collaborating with Hyderabad-based stage actor and theatremaker, Bhagyashree Tarke for a residential theatre workshop in the calm and soothing environs of TCT’s workspace in Pune early next month.
