    A Twist of Lime


    Playwright: Anita Nair
    Director: Arundhati Raja
    Company: Jagriti

    Sushil and the Maybe Virgin
    Half a Sin
    Trespass

    Sushil seeks a bride. A wife and a mistress pretty themselves up to dazzle the same man. Two sisters in a confessional. An apartment in Manhattan, a beauty salon, and a church. Three stories, three different settings. Threading them together is a twist of irony that makes us ponder the different shades of grey in a black-and-white world. What we believe to be true may not really be. And vice versa. But such is life!

    The Dreams of Tipu Sultan


    Playwright: Girish Karnad
    Director: Arundhati Raja
    Company: Jagriti

    Tipu Sultan has continued to dominate the imagination for over two centuries, as the endless flow of scholarly works, ballads, plays and novels testifies. What is less well known is that he secretly maintained a record of his dreams. The Dreams of Tipu Sultan examines the inner life of this warrior, political visionary, and dreamer; a fascinating look at The Tiger of Mysore from a different perspective: that of Independent India.

    'A finesse that one has come to associate with Arundhati Raja's productions... Raza Hussain gave Tipu the majesty and gentleness it demanded.' - The Hindu

    I liked the production very much indeed. Most people were deeply moved. Thanks again for a wonderful Tipu.' - Girish Karnad

    Director: Cindy Meier
