KARACHI:
If, traditionally speaking, theatre can be described as one thing, it is immersive; the story unfolds in the flesh, the actors and their sighs real and palpable, close enough to touch yet always separated by the sacred boundary of the stage. And the stage goes wherever the actor does, with performers now choosing to take it to the constricted space of our phone and television screens, despite the cost of disconnection with the audience.
