WADA CHIREBANDI Story :

Written 35 years ago, this play still remains relevant as writer Mahesh Elkunchwar reasons, 'Wada is not a simple family drama; it is more than that, a document of social change, political change...' The play spotlights the decline of the Wada culture in Maharashtra. Wada refers to the ancestral home which houses a joint family and is thus the hub of Indian family values. Wada Chirebandi is also one such home in the rural settings of Maharashtra. It is now on the brink of decadence following the death of its owner. Urbanisation, consumerism and modern times have taken their toll and the Wada is crumbling and the family is splitting. The elder son has migrated to Mumbai, the second son is greedy and full of false pride and the daughter wants to pursue higher studies in order to escape the fetters of the Wada.

A poignant commentary on the changing culture-scape of Maharashtrain households.
