The Tadpole Repertory

The Tadpole Repertory is a Delhi-based theatre collective of actors, writers and designers. The group is dedicated to presenting original writing and devised performances on subjects that are relevant and compelling to audiences today. Their approach to stagecraft seeks to rise above the limitations of independent theatre in the country, and to push the boundaries and conventions of proscenium theatre. Tadpole's recent productions include Taramandal (2010), winner of the Hindu MetroPlus Playwright Award in 2010; Ich bin Fassbinder (2011), supported by the 50th Anniversary Grant Scheme from the Goethe Institut; Still and Still Moving, developed in collaboration with the Royal Court Theatre (UK); a critically acclaimed production of William Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale (2013); and most recently, NDLS,a variety sketch show about life in Delhi. The Repertory also conducts regular theatre workshops through its initiative, The Looking Glass Project.
