Theatre should lead to social action: Veteran Kannada actor Laxmi Chandrasekhar


PTI, Jan 25, 2024, 6:33 PM IST

For Laxmi Chandrasekhar, veteran Kannada actor and theatre personality, her art form should lead to social action.

“This is something I learned during my days with Samudaya Theatre Company (the theatre group started by another theatre veteran Prasanna, who, among others, used street skits to challenge Indira Gandhi during Emergency). When I started my own theatre company, Kriyative, I continued with the same philosophy. All the plays we choose have some kind of social relevance,” Chandrasekhar told PTI.

Chandrasekhar’s latest solo play, produced by her theatre company ‘Shakespeare’s Wife’ will be performed on Thursday evening at Bangalore International Centre. The Kannada version of the play is written by Uday Itagi.
