Mysore/Mysuru, Dec. 13 -- Mysuru has a long-standing tradition of English theatre, said veteran theatre artiste Sreemathi Hariprasad. She was speaking after inaugurating the first edition of Mysuru English Theatre Festival (METF), organised by Mysuru English Theatre Forum at Jagannatha Centre for Art & Culture in Vijayanagar last evening.

The 3-day Fest, which runs till Dec. 14, was formally launched with the release of the Fest poster.

Recalling the city's rich theatre legacy, Sreemathi Hariprasad said, English theatre in Mysuru dates back to the 1940s. Although she had limited information about that early period, she was actively associated with the theatre during the 1950s, 60s, and 70s and witnessed the vibrancy of those decades.
