The Company Theatre's TAKING SIDES

Get ready for a gripping, intellectually electric masterpiece that will keep you on the absolute edge of your seat! The highly acclaimed historical drama "Taking Sides" is coming to Mumbai on Saturday and Sunday, August 29th and 30th, 2026, at the iconic Prithvi Theatre. Delving into a tense post-war investigation filled with moral dilemmas, this powerful 1-hour and 50-minute production is the ultimate weekend pick for true theatre connoisseurs.

If you want to feature a truly world-class, thought-provoking production on your platform, this show deserves a massive banner spot. Written by the brilliant Ronald Harwood and directed by the legendary Atul Kumar, "Taking Sides" is set in the fractured landscape of post-World War II Germany during the intense period of "denazification".

On the surface, the narrative follows the high-stakes interrogation of Wilhelm Furtwängler, a world-famous music conductor accused of sympathising with the Nazi regime. However, as the cross-examination heats up, the play beautifully unravels into a much larger, sweeping debate about music, art, culture, politics, ethics, and human morality. It brilliantly challenges the audience, asking whether genius art can ever be separated from the politics of the artist. 

The curtains rise at 8:00 PM on both evenings at the Prithvi Theatre, and the show includes a comfortable interval break. Delivered entirely in sharp, powerful English, this riveting drama carries an age guideline of 12 years and older. Tickets are priced at a flat ₹500 via BookMyShow, and since over 150 theatre lovers are already actively tracking this slot, you'll want to urge your users to secure their weekend seats right away!
