  • Rajit Kapur, Shernaz Patel on Performing 'Love Letters' at Delhi's Old World Theatre Festival
    Oct, 08 2017 Rajit Kapur, Shernaz Patel on performing 'Love Letters' at Delhi's Old World Theatre Festival Fifteen plays. Ten days. The 2017 edition of the Old World Theatre Festival (OWTF) that kick-started on 6 October 2017 at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, has theatre lovers rejoicing at the return of some of the most prestigious productions on stage. In an exclusive chat with us, veteran thespians Rajit Kapur and Shernaz Patel spoke about one of their longest- running plays — Love Letters (directed by Rahul da Cunha), the relevance of handwritten letters in a digital world, and their memories of working with one of the stalwarts of Indian theatre, Tom Alter. Love At A Click Letters are passé. The ink doesn’t flow freely, and emotions are bunched up in 140 characters or less. Does a play on love letters have any meaning, then? For Rajit Kapur, love letters are precious. “Letters have become a novelty in today’s age. If someone receives a letter, it becomes really special and cherished by the person. The value of a letter has really gone up,” he says. Shernaz Patel too endorses the magic of handwritten letters and says, “I think love letters matter now more than ever. In an age where people make up and break up on SMS, it’s so important to remember the absolute beauty and power of words. We all love receiving cards and notes that we can keep forever... that don’t get erased with the click of a button.” Rajit and Shernaz perform Love Letters Oct, 08 2017 Love Letters Sans Letters AR Gurney’s epistolary play Love Letters, which premiered in 1988, has had several adaptations over the years — Javed Siddiqui’s Tumhari Amrita (starring Shabana Azmi and Farooq Sheikh, directed by Feroz Abbas Khan) being one of the most popular.
