Soneela Nankani as Shakuntala 

La MaMa ETC in association with The Magis Theatre Company presents Shakuntala and the Ring of Recognition, Kalidasa's classic of the Sanskrit theatre. In the fifth century, India 's master poet Kalidasa composed an epic of love, fidelity, courageous faith, hope in spite of despair, and memory. Bringing this work back to the stage provides the Magis Theatre Company with a lavish opportunity to engage some of the most beautiful traditions of the past and some of the most exciting innovations of the present.
