New Delhi, Dec 23 (PTI) The National School of Drama (NSD) is set to return with some of its most popular productions from its Repertory Company at the ‘Winter Theatre Festival’ 2025, starting December 26.

stage design by seasoned NSD artists.” said Rajesh Singh, head of NSD’s Repertory Company, in a statement.

The festival will also feature “Babu Ji”, a lively stage production inspired by nautanki and folk traditions that blends humour and tenderness to reflect human emotions, family bonds, and social realities, alongside “Mai Ri Main Kase Kahun”, a moving musical narrative that draws from folk sensibilities to explore the emotional depth and inner world of women. Rajesh Singh, Shiv Prasad, Suman Kumar, Rehman, Pooja Gupta, and Shilpa Bharti are among other artistes taking part in the festival.
