The Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards (META) continues to applaud the finest in Indian theatre and set benchmarks for excellence. Instituted by the Mahindra Group with the objective of becoming a significant platform for theatre across regions, states and dialects in India, META is Indian theatre's most definitive award that recognises all aspects of the stage, including play-writing, set, costume and light design, direction and performance.
META 2024 will be held from March 14th to 20th, 2024 at New Delhi’s Kamani Auditorium and Shri Ram Centre, where META 2024’s ten shortlisted plays will be performed for an esteemed panel of jury members as well as theatre-lovers in the capital, concluding with a glittering awards night on the final day.
As always, this year too, the Festival will focus on key narratives - such as a powerful retelling of epic tales, oppression and authoritarianism, protest and rebellion, identity and gender, the sanctity of the artist, ethics, morality, adventure and grit - with its diverse repertoire of plays from across the country. Like each year, the META secretariat received over 390 entries representing languages like Assamese, Bangla, English, Hindi, Hindustani, Malayalam and Marathi.
