Atul Kumar has directed Ronald Harwood's play TAKING SIDES, the premiere shows taking place at Lé Chakallas Studios.
According to a note, the play is a "profound exploration of music, art, politics and the grey area of morality that lies between them. Through a denazification commission, confrontations and interrogations between prominent German conductor and composer Wilhelm Furtwängler (played by Atul Kumar) and Major Steve Arnold (played by Sukant Goel), TAKING SIDES debates whether Furtwängler was a symbol of greatness in music and culture or a Nazi pawn whose concerts put a high-toned gloss on a murderous regime."
The ensemble cast of includes Sukant Goel, Atul Kumar, Mallika Singh, Richa Jain, Kenneth Desai, Kashin Shetty, Kashish Saluja, Pranjal Vaid, Vara Raturi, Kanchan Khilare, Naman Sheth, Rahul Kumar, Rahul Joglekar, Ranjeet Singh, Vicky Rana, Rajiv Gurung and Sukra Gurung.
