Naseeruddin Shah, Anupam Kher, Ratna Pathak Shah and Lillete Dubey lead the first edition of the Hyderabad Theatre Festival at Shilpakala Vedika
The Hyderabad Theatre Festival opens its first season next month, bringing some of India’s most respected stage actors and landmark productions to the city. After five seasons of the Delhi Theatre Festival and a strong debut for the Bengaluru Theatre Festival last year, Alchemist Live now introduces the Hyderabad chapter, expanding its theatre format to another cultural centre.
American Express continues its association with Alchemist Live as the Title Sponsor for the Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad Theatre Festivals. Card members receive a five-day presale window before public ticketing begins, along with ongoing benefits on selected seats. Constella by Speed Infra joins as the Associate Sponsor for this inaugural edition.
Reflecting on the return of one of his most widely performed works, Naseeruddin Shah said that staging Ismat Apa Ke Naam continues to feel like revisiting a classic that remains relevant to every new audience. He expressed his interest in seeing how Hyderabad responds to the play during the first season of the festival.
Anupam Kher, who will present Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai on the closing day, said his recent performance at the Delhi Theatre Festival was among the most memorable of his career. He added that he looks forward to bringing the play to Hyderabad and connecting with an audience known for its interest in performance and storytelling.
HTF Season 1 features three productions across its three days.
Lillete Dubey shared that presenting Autobiography in Hyderabad for the first time is a meaningful way to begin the festival’s journey. She added that her earlier association with Alchemist Live in Delhi and Bengaluru has shown her the value they place on creating an artist-friendly space for theatre.
