Playtime
When Gurukul was disbanded three years ago, everyone thought Nepali theatre was done for. But now with so many acting collectives being set up across town, you can see at least one new play every month. The latest entry to the ever-growing list of theatres is Pathshala Theatre, who have organised a college-level theatre festival this month.
