Interesting casting. Excited to see Citygirl and Debargo - don't know the work of this other desi actor mentioned. Good call on the poster inspired by that book cover. With a 15-person cast playing 40 roles at a cool theater, I am looking forward to it. Also, Sarita Choudhury is in a new play, THE RISE OF DOROTHY HALE - playing FRIDA KAHLO. I also recently saw, MASKED THE PLAY. Very intense - Rajesh Bose did a phenomenal job (he, as the understudy, took the stage in the performance I saw). Another play to look out for is the new one inspired by Tariq Ali’s BBC screenplay, The Leopard and The Fox. Seems like desis are taking the NY stages by storm this season. And I am so happy to see they are not the same old boring ABCD and 7-11 stories. Finally! I understand the lead actress Michi is the wife of the writer. Interesting casting.
