Diverting piece about a bedraggled theatrical troupe engaged in a valiant effort to keep the spirit of Shakespeare alive in post-Independence India. English actress Felicity Kendal stars, and much of the material is based on the experiences of her real-life theatrical family. Kendal gets involved in an interracial romance with a rich playboy (Shashi Kapoor); Madhur Jaffrey, an Indian actress also known for her books on Indian cuisine, turns in a colorful performance as a movie star. A wryly humorous film from the directing/producing/writing team of James Ivory, Ismail Merchant and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. leave a comment
