If as a Mumbaiite you have never been to theatre - I mean plays and not the movie theatre - make it a point to visit one in the next week. You have been missing something.
We got free passes to Prithvi theatre to watch the play - Class of 84. The interaction of the actors with the audience is terrific. Why would actors ever chose a medium apart from stage? On stage, they can hear the reaction and see the expressions play real time. Actors enjoy getting the laughs and the surprised gasps from the audience. Unlike movies, even if the play is not the best possible one in all aspects, you enjoy every minute just because of the closeness of interaction.
Best of all, no one breaks into songs and zaps themselves to Switzerland for a impromptu jig.
Unlike others, Prithvi allows audience to sit almost right against the stage. They call it an intimate theatre auditorium and that is what makes the experience really amazing. It is very different from sitting a kilometer away from the stage.
Note: Please do not get into the typical habit of going for the seats furthest away from stage.
