Five years ago we commissioned London�s Royal Court Theatre to help meet requests we were receiving from theatre companies around India�� The royal court jumped at the opportunity to work with the most creative minds and talents of India today�.
Writer�s bloc is an apotheosis of these workshops. All new 9 plays-nurtured by writers, destruction-tested by actors, picked apart by directors, re-written countless times by the same writers and, above all, worked on by some of the royal court theatre�s most distinguished playwrights and directors- now come, in full performance, to the Mumbai stage.

We at Jindal belive in young talent and strongly advocate partnerships between business and arts.
