Theatre is not possible in isolation,” says Saurabh Shukla, in a video that released last week. It resonates with the times we live in but was shot over a year ago. It is now part of a series titled Green Room Diaries, produced by Hyderabad-based Break A Leg, a content platform for theatre and allied arts. While it received much traction with its 15 short videos between 2017 and 2019, maker Ankit Bakshi who had shot 30 of them back then abandoned Green Room Diaries for other pressing projects. “It was the lockdown that reminded me of all the footage we had and how I’ve always wanted to post it but couldn’t find time to,” he shares.

So now, Green Room Diaries has seen an unexpected digital revival where 15 new videos (shot between 2017 and 2019) will go up weekly in a new season of the series.
