About The Event
Chainpur Ki Dastaan Ranjit Kapoor's Hindustani adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector General, the play is a smart, nuanced satire on corruption in the fictional town 'Of Chainpur'. An aging, crooked Nawab and his hysteric Begum, along with their coterie of sycophant advisors, are alarmed when they hear rumours that the "Dilli sarkar" is sending a senior officer to clean up the mess that is Chainpur's money-‐guzzling administration. The play explores the deep-rooted malaise of corruption in small-town life, where muscle power reigns supreme and no institution cannot be purchased. Hidden away in the noise and cacophony, somewhere, is the Aam Aadmi. Truly a play for our times.
