Stage is my home: Rytasha Rathore
"Theatre is live. It s a room full of people who are there to experience storytelling live. It s amazing. The stage is my home. It s where I began acting where I learnt. So for me it s always great to get back on stage " Rytasha who started doing theatre over a decade ago told IANS.
"I haven t performed since March so I m really excited to be finally back on stage. That too at Prithvi theatre which is my absolute favourite venue on earth " she added.
She will be part of the play "07/07/07" which will be staged this weekend here.
"It s based on the story of an Iranian girl named Reyhaneh Jabbari who was sexually assaulted at the age of 19 after which she stabbed the man in self-defense for which she was sentenced to jail for seven years and subsequently hanged.
"While in jail she wrote a bunch of letters to her mother which were then released on the internet after her death which our team came across and decided to then create a play on her story.
"We sat and built an entire structure of a play just based on those letters and rehearsed for a good six months for the same " she said.
