This is the story of Claudia Faith Draper, an upper middle class Caucasian woman who was expected to lead a ‘dignified’ life.

She was not supposed to become a call girl, let alone become ‘that’ call girl who killed one of her clients and is now accused of first degree manslaughter.

The forces at large which ironically also includes her own mother and step-father have used their powers to ensure she is declared criminally insane and spends the rest of her life at Bellevue Medical Hospital- an institute for the criminally insane.

As is her right, she challenges this verdict and thus begins the play, “NUTS.”

Can murder be innocent? Is it truly wrong to kill for the "greater good" or to end someone’s numbing pain? Furthermore, how difficult is it to explain this logic to the one "relatively sane" member of an otherwise insane family? This story revolves around Arjun Roy, an upcoming movie critic. Arjun is excited to introduce his fiancée to his family, but he is instead shaken by the "innocent" insanity created by his aunts and his brother. As the bodies pile up and the logic thins, can Arjun hold his own sanity? Or will he eventually give in to these hilariously dark turn of events?

When we consider our society as an integrated entity, we notice that, through social stratification a pyramid is built, sometimes clearly visible, sometimes concealed.

DAAG revolves around Bindiya, a tailor, who wants to get established and lead a lavish life. She earns her livelihood by stitching clothes for ladies. But she has lofty dreams of making it big in life. Reality strikes a different note. Her customers either short-change her or impose tough deadlines. Either way she is in a tight spot.

The play ends with questions about our ecosystem. Are those in its upper layer bound to exploit the ones in the lower? How strong is the impact of getting exploited?

Mithyasur explores the deep influence of myths and stories in the evolution of human civilization. At its heart, it is a play about the complex interplay between truth and illusion, knowledge and ignorance—especially when these are shaped by the powers of state and religion.

Set in 18th-century Hindustan, the story unfolds in a small princely state and centers around an ancient temple, its high priest Somdev, and his patron deity—the demon king Kumbh. This is no ordinary demon, but one who governs the state through Somdev's dreams, subtly guiding its rulers, demanding human sacrifices as penance, and maintaining control through fear and prophecy.

But what happens when this demon suddenly stops appearing in the priest's dreams?

How does one govern a state when divine instructions fall silent— especially in a time when the looming threat of war with the Company government hangs over the valley?

Caught between devotion and delusion, Mithyasur follows the journey of Somdev as he seeks answers-not only about the state's future, but also about his own faith, authority, and truth. In this quest, he must engage with the radically different worldview of the royal princess, a believer in science, reason, and human agency.

Through their collision and collaboration, Mithyasur unfolds as a tale of belief, power, self-discovery-and the fine line that separates the mythical from the real.

Yogi vs Bhogi is a free adaptation of the 7th-century play, Bhagavadajjukam (Sanskrit, ‘bhagavat’ - hermit; ‘ajjuka’ - harlot), also known in English as The Ascetic and The Courtesan. One of the oldest surviving plays in Sanskrit literature, it is a fine example of a `prahasana`, or farce. Layered in witty exchanges about dharma, it is centered around the transmigration of souls between the two titular characters leading to confusion and chaos for the supporting characters who have no answer to the absurdity of it all.

Through this retelling in English, Mahesh Dattani, plays around with the idea of gender: its expression, perception, spectrum and the exploration of what one truly is with a confrontation of stereotypes using humour and catharsis. Infused with Yakshagana, the play comes alive when the classic Sanskrit text and the physicality of theatre gels seamlessly with the traditional dance theatre form from coastal Karnataka.
