Here's why you should be heading to Prithvi Theatre this Sunday for cutting chai with Marathi theatre stalwarts Satish Alekar andu00a0 Mahesh Elkunchwar

With a play about a man trapped in a woman's desire, unfulfilled, pining for a vanished era, and several more that pushed the boundaries of regional Indian theatre in the 1970s and 80s, Satish Alekar and Mahesh Elkunchwar gave Marathi theatre audiences complex characters they loved or loved to hate. Now that their translated works are ready to be released in a comprehensive book, it's occasion for a day-long affair where English and Marathi theatrewallahs will come together for dramatised readings and short performances this Sunday morning.
