An abusive husband, a perverted brother-in-law, an infant, the whole household chores, a young nagging boyfriend, peeking neighbors - amidst a woman alone trying to survive. Different roles of a woman, a daughter, a wife, a mother, a maid, a housekeeper, a laundry woman, a cook, a machine to produce children and an instrument to satisfy the lust of husband. These are, ironically, the expectations of the male chauvinist society from a woman. Her own identity, her own desire, her own love, her wish do not find any place in the crowd of constant demands from the so called superior sex. When she revolts; she refuses to satisfy the male ego, or the least she can do, being her own support system, wants to break the four walls and come out with her very own existence, she becomes the taboo.
'A Woman Alone', scripted by Franca Rame and Dario Fo and staged by eminent
theatre personality Shilpi Marwaha, concludes with yelling at the entire society and questions the audience to decide the objectivity of the treatment in terms of gender discrimination that exists in the society.
