Body-swap comedies are big in the cinema. From the mother-daughter switch of Freaky Friday to the boy who finds himself an adult in Big, Hollywood loves to show what the world looks like through someone elseâs eyes.
Safe to say, however, that few such movies concern the transformation of Hindu gods into street-smart hedonists. And a dead cert that none of them takes place in Dundee.
This unlikely gap in the market is filled with some swagger by playwright Jaimini Jethwa in Hindu Times, this weekendâs instalment of Sound Stage, the audio drama collaboration between Pitlochry Festival theatre and Edinburghâs Royal Lyceum.

Early rainfall in November has given some Aussie peanut growers the boost that they needed, securing a positive start to the 2020/2021 peanut growing season. Unfortunately for one local grower, they ve made the tough decision to skip peanuts this season because of a lack of water. Alloway farmer Dean Cayley said in just over a decade of growing peanuts, they ve only skipped planting peanuts once before. With about 60 per cent of his water allocation, he s opted to plant soybeans instead. Mr Cayley said there was a wet winter and spring forecast which never eventuated so he wasn t going to hold his breath for large summer rainfalls in order to grow quality peanuts.
