realitY
five  powerful, hard hitting monologues in which the playwright tackles head-on issues of violence, intolerance of others, narrow concepts of community and nation, each with a twist that lifts it into the realm of real drama. award-winning playwright manjula padmanabhan, in her attempt to come to grips with the violence of these times, excels in this suite of short one-handers which leaves the viewer both shaken and thoughtful.

gardYsh
a stage adaptation exploring the whacky, weird and strangely dark stories of noted hindi satirist harishankar parsai.  while his writing dates back to the early 1960s, his stories have not lost their relevance or power. The stories are woven together into an interactive game show format with exaggerated acting styles, characters and live music. The stories bring the past and present together while raising compelling questions about the future.
