I watched two plays recently. The first one “Friends will be Friends" was a utter disaster. This was some kind of movie on stage, with dances in between when its not required. The script was stolen from all the Hindi movies - from Dil Chatha hai to Dilwale dulaniya le jayenge. One of my colleagues walked out for the auditorium by the first half. It looked like one guy had lot of money to spend on and decided to stage a play. Though the actors were good - ultimately it was a bad experience. The second play was by a famous group called Evam “Double Comedy” and this group is known for some good plays called “Chapter Two" etc. And I was all excited and looking forward for a good play. This one too had dances in between, but the difference was it was good music :-). Actors were great, but it really didn’t give me a satisfaction of seeing a good play. Towards the end I wanted to run out of the auditorium. I definitely need to get reviews before I go to the next one, and hope they don’t all head the bollywood way.

Nothing can beat actually watching actors up on stage in front of you.
Unfortunately, you can't rent them in a local shop for Rs. 20.
If only more people were into watching theatre, there'd be more money in it, i.e., better plays for us :|
But you don't have to pay for better scripts. I dont question the actors and their acting,but then you need to have good stories and messages in the plays.
