Naseeruddin Shah's Motley opens the new edition of the Prithvi Theatre Festival with Old World’
Naseeruddin Shah is in no mood to direct plays any longer-at least, not when he is acting in them. "I find it a great strain now to direct and act in the same production," he says during a conversation at his home in Mumbai. "I don't know if I will do it (direction) again.
It takes up too much of one's energy." This is one of the reasons why Shah, 73, is only acting in the new play that his theatre company, Motley, is producing for Prithvi Festival 2023 (till 13 November).
Written by Russian playwright Aleksei Arbuzov and directed by Arghya Lahiri, Old World will see Shah and his wife, actor Ratna Pathak Shah, play a taciturn doctor and an eccentric woman, respectively, who meet at a health resort.
