This April, Delhi is getting all artsy with the series of plays being put up by Mumbai-based Ekjute Theatre Group. Run by prominent theatre personality, Nadira Babbar, the group is commemorating its 31st anniversary by putting up this theatre festival that will be on till April 22. The festival showcases plays dealing with varied themes ranging from friendship, art, and family, to class differences, social problems and conflicts.

"We have always had a fabulous response from the audience in Delhi for all our shows," says Juhi Babbar Soni, daughter of Nadira Babbar. "In fact, several members of Ekjute are from Delhi," she adds. A large number of Ekjute members are also alumni of the city's National School of Drama.

The festival that kicked off on Friday with the group's popular play, Paint se Brush Tak, a tribute to painter MF Hussain, promises to stage some of its best plays in the coming days. So get ready for a theatre sojourn!
