Playwright, director and actor, Shiv Subrahmanyam passed away in April this year, leaving behind his legacy of work, that his wife, Divya Jagdale, is keeping alive with a festival, For You, Shiv, put together with his family and friends.

The festival, from the 20th to 23rd of December at Prithvi Theatre, will begin with a book release, which is a compilation of three plays - IRANI CAFE, SNAPSHOTS FROM AN ALBUM and CLOOGED ARTERIES.

Elaborating on the festival Divya said, "The festival is to celebrate Shiv, his love for theatre, for everyone who loved him and a hope towards the future of children suffering ependymoma brain tumours " (Their son Jahaan had died tragically young after suffering from this ailment.)

According to the press note, another highlight of the festival will be the discussion on IRANI CAFE on 23rd with Leena Yadav and Vinay Pathak. The festival is not only a celebration but also a way of giving back to a cause close to Divya's heart. All proceeds from the festival will be donated to Tata Memorial Hospital for the purpose of research on brain tumours."
