Nepali theatre’s dilemma

As Nepali theatres in the Valley come back to life after the lockdowns, foreign adaptations are dominating the theatre scene.

On the evening of October 2, the audience at Shilpee theatre were transported to 1600s’ France. Before them, theatre artists performed the famed pastoral comedy ‘As You Like It’ written by William Shakespeare, which was adapted and directed by Greta Rana. The play was conducted from October 1 to October 4.
