Synopsis:
A tragicomedy about a young boy who dreams of becoming an actor but is pushed by his conservative family into a life he never wanted.

What begins as a chance to perform soon turns into a battle for art, identity, and the right to dream
About Afsana Theatre:
Afsana Theatre is an experimental theatre group based in Mumbai, dedicated to exploring uncharted literature and bringing universal stories to the stage. Our work draws from diverse languages and cultures across the globe, grounded in the belief that stories have the power to unite people, ideas, and perspectives. Every narrative we choose reveals character, philosophy, and wisdom. This journey is endless, and we are here to discover more
Although a relatively young theatre collective, we have quickly established a strong presence in the urban theatre circuit, having successfully staged plays like Phislan (Prithvi Theatre Festival, Fringe-2019), Kutta Aurat Aadmi (Prithvi Theatre Festival, Fringe-2022, Qadir Ali Baig Theatre Festival, 2023), Janpad Bijnor (Serendipity Arts Festival, Goa-2023), A Life in the Theatre and the latest Kya Hi Farq Padta Hai (Prithvi Festival, Fringe 2025)
About D for Drama:
D for Drama was formed in 2012 by Kumud Mishra & Ghanshyam Lalsa. Unlike traditional theatre groups where writers and directors invite actors to act with them, D for Drama's vision is to collaborate with a plethora of different writers and directors, creating unique works of theatre each time these efforts come together
