The prestigious Prithvi Festival Theatre association with Bombay in Times begins today. This year, Naseeruddin Shah will inaugurate the festival with his new solo performance in and as the brilliant German-born scientist Einstein. The above drawing of Naseeruddin Shah as Albert Einstein was sent to the actor by Aakash Biswas many years ago. Naseer, seeing this stark resemblance between himself and Einstein, decided to play the scientist on stage. Einstein is playing today (invitee show only) and tomorrow at Prithvi theatre (6 pm and 9 pm).
