Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure

…Two outstanding performances came from Lushin Dubey as Isabella and Arjun RAina as the Duke.

After a long time we heard Shakespeare spoken the way he should be. Some of the scenes between Dubey and Raina will be long remembered…

…and of course Raina, a professionally trained actor and Kathakali dancer is fully in command of the situation. Synchronisation of his voice, speech, gestures and body movement need to be seen to be admired…


…when Othello speaks in Malayalam, people in Delhi’s Walled City listen. It’s Arjun Raina’s courtyard theatre presenting a redoubtable range of talent to audiences in Old Delhi…
