New Delhi: Literature, clashing cultures and global performance genres merge quaintly on the Indian stage, riding on legendary 16th century playwright William Shakespeare's works at the National School of Drama's annual theatre fest here.




The fortnight-long 15th edition of the Bharat Rangmahotsav will end Sunday.

The annual showcase of the country's premier drama school turned its spotlight on "inter-cultural Shakespeare" this time, with a cache of six productions from across the world.

These are a Hindi version of "Twelfth Night"; an Indian-British interpretation of "The Tempest"; a Bengali "Macbeth"; a retelling of "Othello" in Malayalam; a non-verbal Indian-Anerican Shakespeare collage, "The Knocking Within"; and "Julius Ceaser" in Assamese by Guwahati's Seagull Theatre group.
