About THESPO

Early in the 6th Century BC, a Greek poet named "Thespis" pioneered spoken dialogue, breaking the tradition of chorus and verse. At the Great Dyonysia in 534 BC he became the first recorded winner of a prize for tragedy. His followers since then have been called Thespians, and it is in honour of this "rebel" that we name our festival 'Thespo'

Thespo has grown from strength to strength over the last 6 years. From its humble beginnings as a one act play festival, to now a 3 city, 6 day event, with platform performances, workshops and full length plays it has been quite a journey.

With a surprising number of new "thespo-ans" coming on board every year, we hope that the festival will scale greater heights and encourage more people to take up the theatre.

Thespo would never have got so far if it wasn't for the drive and support of Theatre Group Bombay and the encouragement from the theatre fraternity and theatre audience of this city.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating of the Future of Theatre!
