The Motley Theatre Group was started by Naseeruddin Shah and Benjamin Gilani in 1979, and has since produced some of the most memorable Indian performances of plays by Beckett, Shaw, Ionesco and others. From being an itinerant troupe of two, Motley (later including Tom Alter, Ratna Pathak, Kenny Desai and Akash Khurana) now has a large membership. Over the past ten years they’ve also widened their repertoire to include work in Hindustani. The latest edition of their annual festival includes Dear Liar, By George, A Walk in the Woods, and Ismat Apa Ke Naam.
