About the Play

After listening to the Bhagavad Gita recited by Lord Krishna, Arjun decides not to fight the battle of Mahabharat. He leads the Pandavs away from the battle field into a forest, where, followed by Draupadi, Duryodhan, and Krishna, and tutored by an 'anti-Krishna', they re-write Bhagavad Gita as a book fit for an atheist. The entire play rhymes.

Language: Hindi Run-time: 100 minutes Children under 12 will not be admitted

"Experience a story come to life" A writer. His creation. He manipulates it. It manipulates him? Witness a unique love story reveal hurdles never seen before.

Set in an unnamed city in modern India, MUAVZE (मुआवज़े) is a hilarious account of how a modern city awaits a riot, and how everyone seeks to profit by it. One of Bhisham Sahni's best known plays, Muavze has been performed many times all over the world. Our production will be imagined differently from typical presentations of the play in India. Aided by physical comedy, 'Bollywood' song and dance, and a quirky set, Muavze promises to get Naatak’s 2018 Season (//www.naatak.org/season-pass-2017/) off to a rollicking start.

Grover, facing a financial crunch, takes on Sunny as his roommate without the knowledge of his landlord. Grover soon realizes some inconsistencies in Sunny’s background and confronts him. This results in some startling revelations about Sunny’s past centered on an “empty” house with strange noises. As Sunny struggles to shake off his nightmares, a disbelieving Grover is slowly drawn into his past life. Sunny and Grover then embark on a quest to unravel the mystery behind the house which leads to unpleasant and unexpected results.
