Tom Alter Actor [Hindi, English Theatre ] Which is the last best play you saw? The last play I saw was an IPTA production at Prithvi -- featuring Aasid Sheikh, Vinati Makhijani, Avatar Gill and Rakesh Bedi - a powerful, intense play. Your favourite adda to see a play I have no favourite adda -- but still enjoy Prithvi in Mumbai and Sri Ram Centre in Delhi. Your favourite playwright Very, very difficult to answer. But I like the work of Shivani Tibrewala and Dr Sayeed Alam Your favourite play-character Maulana Azad A play you would like to see filmed. Why? MAULANA AZAD- for the sheer drama of it. A novel/short story you would like to see on stage? Why? It has already happened. I staged Hemingway's 'The old man and the sea' with Shivani Tibrewala because it is my all- time favourite novel -- given to me by my father when I was seven. The most hilarious play you have seen BIG B by Dr Sayeed Alam A play, which is over-hyped Many of Shakespeare's plays. An important play (but ignored) MAULANA AZAD A play character you would like to ''dialogue'' with Maulana Azad A passage from an important play that you can recite Lucky's speech from WAITING FOR GODOT - in English and Marathi and from UNDER MILK WOOD, a play by Dylan Thomas. A play that changed your perception about the theatre WAITING FOR GODOT with Naseer and Ben. How do you regard the Mumbai theatre scene? From a seat in the auditorium. Have you read any interesting books/articles concerning the theatre? Why did you find them interesting? Peter O Toole's autobiography - because he talks about everything else except acting. Your favourite director/actor/music or set designer Dr Alam - director; Harish Chhabra- actor A significant Indian production that you may have witnessed Will always remember seeing Naseer for the first time in THE ZOO STORY Life in the theatre without the humble batata-wada or the cutting chai... or can you recall the best gastronomic experience you've had in the precincts of the theatre to date? The chai at Sri Ram Centre.
