In a unique presentation, the play has Mirza Ghalib's friends, disciples, his wife (Umrao Begum) and even his maid (Wafadar) reading and reviewing his letters. In the process, the audience is introduced to not only Ghalib - his letters, life and life style but also to his near and dear ones, including Munshi Har Gopal 'Taftah', a great yet long forgotten poet of Persian, played by Tom Alter.
