1. Which is the last best play you saw and why? LOVE LETTERS directed by Rahul Da Cunha. Brilliantly performed by Rajit Kapoor and Shernaz Patel and very well staged.
2. Your favourite adda to see a play� Any day Prithvi!!!
3. Your favourite playwright� Vijay Tendulkar
4. Your favourite play-character� MACBETH
5. A play you would like to see filmed. Why? AASHAD KA EK DIN. I personally feel that the play has a very strong visual quality, which I feel that only the film medium can fully capture.
6. A novel/short story you would like to see on stage? Why? �Nashtni� (Broken Nest) by Rabindranath Tagore. I feel that the relationship between the three characters in the story could be exploited well in a confined space.
7. The most hilarious play you have seen� ALL THE BEST
8. A play, which is over-hyped� CLASS OF 84�
9. An important play (but ignored): A RAINCOAT FOR ALL SEASONS

12. A play that changed your perception about the theatre� BLUE MUG and C FOR CLOWNS by Atul Kumar.
13. How do you regard the Mumbai theatre scene? Very exciting. Very happening. But where�s the money???
14. If you have ever been a part of a theatre production/s, can you recall an event that was insightful, significant or simply humorous? Too many people, too many incidents to recall. In fact every show is a story in itself.
15. Can you think of a foreign production that you found remarkable? Why? MEASURE FOR MEASURE - For its outstanding production value and for achieving something that is currently beyond Mumbai theatre.
16. Your favourite director/actor/music or set designer� Director: Atul Kumar, Actor: Chandan Roy Sanyal, Set Designer: Romeo Da Costa (for Noises Off!)
17. Life in the theatre without the humble batata-wada or the cutting chai or if you please brownies that are snuggling chocolate bits� or can you recall the best gastronomic experience you�ve had in the precincts of the theatre to date? I suffer form acute acidity during shows and therefore there are too many to recall.
