IIT Bombay's Theatre Fest...

MTG editorial

LIC's IIT Bombay Theatre Fest 2008 is a 5-day long festival of plays
performed by some of the most renowned names in Indian Theatre and hosted
by IIT Bombay. Launched in 2006 by the well-known
playwright and director Ramu Ramanathan, LIC's IIT Bombay Theatre Fest was
envisaged as a medium to introduce fresh and intelligent minds to the
medium of theatre. The third edition of the Fest, being organised by
Fourth Wall, the dramatics club of IIT Bombay and sponsored by LIC, is
slated to be held between 1st and 6th October 2008.

Apart from some of the highly acclaimed plays by professional artists,
some award winning plays by students of IIT Bombay at different
college festivals across the country will also be staged. This will prove
