Pati Gaye Ree Kathiawar
Music & Direction - Ajit Chowdhury
Written by- Sudhir B. Kulkarni
Presented by- Sparsh Natya Rang

It is the story of a village called Bhamboda near Pune in Maharashtra. The Subedar of Pune from a long time had been paying his visit to Kathiawar for yearly collection of tax. His wife Janki was a beautiful, devoted, dedicated lady, who loved her husband very much.
After hearing the news that her husband has to go Kathiawar she was in a deep sorrow, so she asked her husband to give her some work to keep herself busy. So SarjayRao asked her to build a palace made of glass and that too without paying any money from his side, in his absence. Although whatever he said was a part of joke, but his wife Janki took it seriously and wanted to fulfill the wishes of her husband. This is the story of the play. The character of Joravar and his Diwanji create some funny moments in his play. A husband-wife relationship is based on faith towards each other, if there is a tittle mistake then the life becomes hell for them, In his context in our male dominating society, it is true that it is always the woman who is asked give the test of life. If a woman commits a mistake she is defined as characterless & if it is done by a man he is spared. This play shows the funny side of the truth behind a man and a woman relationship.

​Play: ​

Gudiya Ghar
Director - Basab Bhattacharya                                                    
Adaptation- Henrik Ibsen Doll’s House
Presented by- New Delhi Players
One of the finest plays written on the subject of women’s rights & has the distinction of being the most performed play internationally perhaps because it’s as close as one could get to the truth of hypocrisy in accepted gender roles in a marriage, in those times and even today. Even though the writer has mentioned that the play is a description of Humanity and is about Self-discovery.

Nora and Torvald Helmer believe they are happily married and on the brink of a blissful new phase of life. Torvald has been promoted to bank manager and their money worries are over. But Nora has a secret debt, incurred with good intentions and a forged signature, and with her husband';s new power comes the threat of blackmail. Over three acts the illusion of bourgeois contentment unravels, and the play culminates in a spectacular scene between the couple as Nora';s lie is exposed and Torvald first blames, then forgives her – and is finally abandoned as Nora recognizes the truth of her situation. She accuses her husband, and her father before him, of having used her as a doll, and declares herself unfit to be a wife or mother until she has learned to be herself. The ideal wife & mother walk out of the marriage.

Henrik Johan Ibsen, a major Norwegian playwright largely responsible for the rise of modern realistic drama, writer of A Doll’s House was inspired by the belief that "a woman cannot be herself in modern society," since it is "an exclusively male society, with laws made by men and with prosecutors and judges who assess feminine conduct from a masculine standpoint.

The play is as relevant today as it was in 1879. In the century and more since, the play and the role of Nora have taken on iconic status; UNESCO';s Memory of the World register calls Nora "a symbol throughout the world, for women fighting for liberation and equality".

​Play: ​

Mayaram Ki Maya
Director -J.P. Singh
Written by- Jay vardhan
Presented by- Rangbhoomi
Theme of the play ‘Mayaram Ki Maya’ is based on a folktale, with human being being its center point. Amongst innumerous living beings it is man only who desires to establish his own entity parallel to that of God. Call it whether curiosity or his wiliness, man sometimes seems to be hallooing the existence of God. His mind is filled with many diverse perversions. This is why man thinks something else, appears to be someone differently contrary to his thought and acts finally in quite a different manner. He forgets serious relations when the occasion arises; forgets the obligations and the reverence of God.

​Play: ​

Mousaji Jai Hind
Playwright & Directed by Vasant Kashikar
A play based on A Story of Renowned Hindi Writer Udai Prakash
Presented by- Vivechana
Mousaji Jai Hind is a portrait of a unique character. The story moves around a person named Mousaji. He is an old man who has woven an imaginary world around him. He has all the problems of a common poor man but he always talks about his participation in freedom struggle, his friendship with Gandhi Ji, how Angrej Sahabs were afraid of him in those days and how the Chief minister and police chief still respects him. People know him and his reality but still love him for his simplicity and honesty. Mousaji entertains and at the same time compels us to think about him and his own world. The play ends up where Mousaji was compelled to accept the reality of life.
