Written & Directed by: Dinesh Thakur; Cast: Preeta Mathur, Shanker Iyer, Nitin Sharma, Aman Gupta, S C Makhija, Madhu Shrivastav, Akshay Sharma and Ashish Salim; A searing play about a woman at the mercy of social forces that threaten to engulf her. Working on various levels, the play reveals her plight amid the inner violence prevailing in the society, revealed through a mock trial by a group of actors, that rises to a dramatic crescendo. Is India really in sync with the times where women power is concerned? Gender discrimination and harassment has taken new forms in Corporate workplaces. The existing male order, highly insecure and immature, conspires to limit the female rise in newer ways of victimization and corruption. Translated from Vijay Tendulkar's original Marathi modern classic- Shantata! Court Chalu AahE. The Hindi translation is by Kamlakar Sontake.
