Dhaba On Devon
Playwright and screenwriter Madhuri Shekar returns to talk about Dhaba on Devon Avenue, now having its much-delayed world premiere at Chicago's Writers Theatre in a co-production with Timeline Theatre. Shekar reveals the comic book origin stories of both herself and the play; the happy accident of writing a family play that resonates with older audiences; how Shakespeare and Bollywood have much in common; how superhero films have taught us important history our schools have missed; embracing the unintentional gift of time; and the Proustian power of a saag grilled cheese sandwich. (Length 20:32) (PICTURED: Anish Jethmalani and Tina Munoz Pandya in the Writers Theatre/Timeline Theatre co-production of Dhaba on Devon Avenue by Madhuri Shekar, directed by Chay Yew.

Hi Megan —
Great question! Here’s the link to episode 449, and you can follow the Older Posts link at the bottom of the page to find previous episodes. There’s supposed to be a link where you can find episodes by YEAR, but I can’t find it! I’ll keep looking! http://www.reducedshakespeare.com/category/podcasts/page/11/

Hi RSC,
I was wondering to see how to download the beginning portion of the RSC podcast on itunes before episode 450. I have episodes 450-500 downloaded on itunes because that’s all that’s showing so far. I know on the RSC website, you have the podcasts you’ve guys done.
Thanks
