Marathi theatre appreciating horror plays

Staged on the first-day of the recently concluded five-day theatre festival at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Mumbai, the horror play ‘Tee’ earned plaudits from several theatre aficionados.
“You’re in a dark auditorium. Only an eerie blue light illuminates the stage. In hushed tones, two men talk about an unknown spirit that is lurking around.You feel a touch on your shoulder. You ignore it the first time. Then you feel a hand caressing your shoulder. As it turns out, there’s a third character walking around, in the dark, moving through the audience. That was our experience of watching ‘Tee,’ an award-winning, experimental Marathi horror play,” said a website about the play.
The horror production is a personal journey for director Pritesh Sodha, according to a website. “I wanted to get over my own fear. We intend to create a scary, spooky environment. We also want to do our bit to clear superstitions that plague our society,” Sodha said in an interview.
