February 15, 2020 (IANSlife) “What happens over a weekend in an affluent Delhi household when a patriarch invites all nine members of his three generation family to celebrate his 75th birthday?” Exploring this interesting question on stage will be noted theatrist Feisal Alkazi’s English play based on playwright Andrew Keatley’s ‘The Gathered Leaves’.

All set to take place at the Open Air Amphitheater at Triveni Kala Sangam later this month, ‘The Gathered Leaves’ is by turn dramatic and comic, poignant and provocative.

It questions borders and boundaries, acceptance and rejection, roles and expectations, and forgiving and forgetting.

The two-hour play has a cast from ages 16 to 60 from the Ruchika Theatre Group, and will take place on February 29 here.
