Reviews

Chetan: - "Prithvi Theatre is the best theatre in Mumbai more because of the seating which is a nukkad natak type setup & you feel the actors standing very close by & acting. I have watched numerous plays here & every time I get spellbound by the great acts & monologues.

Please book tickets in advance & ensure to reach the place atleast 30-45 minutes before the start of the play as they do not allow late entries & the seats are not numbered”

 

Jignesh: - "Prithvi theatre is my evergreen favourite place of choice to visit whenever I have got leisure time in evening. The drama staged here have got absolutely amazing quality, to act on the stage of Prithvi is considered an achievement. Its the window to the creativity of new generation and experience of the veterans. I was lucky enough to meet Sh. Shashi Kapoorji in the Prithvi Cafe itself who was listening to the flute played by an eminent artist. Irish Coffee at Prithvi is my fav.”
