Ranan's Equus premiered in Calcutta in April 2009. Directd by Vikram Iyengar, it brought together a cast of dancers and actors, designers, composers and techincal personnel in a collaborative creative process which continues as the production grows and evolves. Equus was invited to the Prithvi Theatre Festival, Mumbai in November 2009, and then the National School of Drama's Bharat Rang Mahotsav in January 2010.
We travel to the Abhinaya Theatre Festival in Hyderabad with a few cast changes:

1. We welcome Lav Kanoi to his first project with Ranan. Lav takes over the central role of Alan Strang from Shadab Kamal who esaayed the character for nine shows in three cites. 
2. Shadab himself steps into the shoes of Tanmay Dhanania who played several roles including the of Harold Salomon, Henry Dalton and a horse! We are delighted that Tanmay has successfully gone through a series of tough auditions and is now enrolled in an acting course at the Royal Academy of Dramatic art, London.
3. Ranan Repertory trainee and Brindar (Ranan's Kathak training wing) senior student, Surangama Majumdar replaces Debosmita Roychoudhury for the Hyderabad show, playing the roles of a horse and Nurse.
