Bollywood fans worldwide will get a real treat this coming spring with a traveling production of The Blue Mug, a new play directed by Atul Kumar that stars Ranvir Shorey, Konkona Sen Sharma, Vinay Pathak, Rajat Kapoor, Sheeba Chaddha, and Munish Bhardwaj. The Blue Mug is based in part on The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat, the classic book of essays by neurologist Oliver Sacks. Sacks took his experiences with patients who, for varying reasons from brain tumors to dementia to autism, experience the world differently from neurotypical individuals and used them to explore our own shared conception of memory and existence. The Blue Mug follows in his footsteps, taking mental illness out of the realm of the clinical and into the philosophical.
