Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on November 29, 1939)

Happy Birthday to Sri Lanka's legendary dramatist and beloved street theatre maestro, Gamini Haththotuwegama! May your special day be brighter than a spotlight on opening night. Your fearless commitment to bringing drama from grand auditoriums down into bustling streets has revolutionized our cultural scene—and ensured that even the traffic jams come complete with artistic enlightenment.

We celebrate you not just as an incredible playwright and director but also as the unapologetically bold "Father of Sri Lankan modern street theatre." From challenging social norms through vibrant performances like “Raja Dekma,” you've proven time after memorable time: All the world's indeed a stage—but no one rocks it quite like you!
