THEATRE
Prithvi Theatre

www.prithvitheatre.org
;
Juhu Church Rd, Juhu; tickets ?80-300)
A great place to see both
Hindi and English-language theatre. Its excellent international theatre festival in Novem-
ber showcases what's going on in contemporary Indian theatre and includes performances
by international troupes and artists. The theatre also has film screenings and a charming
cafe.
Liberty Cinema
( 9820027841; 41/42 New Marine Lines, near Bombay Hospital)
The stunning art-deco Liberty was
once the queen of Hindi film - think red-carpet openings with Dev Anand - while Bom-
bay's other cinemas were focused on Hollywood. It fell on hard times but has been mak-
ing a valiant effort to be awesome again and now occasionally hosts film festivals and live
music in terribly atmospheric surrounds.
