Written & Directed by Mumbai playwright, Zubin Driver, the three pieces explore the fascinating lives of four protagonists living in the city.
Firmly located in Mumbai city life, the three monologues look at four completely different urban experiences. They explore the common links between a TV anchor, a housewife and her washing machine and a mad man standing outside Mumbai Central Station. Each of these people are locked into their own lives, trapped by their own routine. Each of them needs to find release and self-understanding. As each monologue progresses each person comes to his or her own point of inner balance.
The cast are Karla Singh, Denzil Smith, Nikhil Rao & Riddhi Goradia.
