Bulauwa 10:30 AM
Duration: 50 Mins Age: +16 yrs+
by LSR Dramatics Society
A startling, intimate, and fiercely relevant retelling of a woman’s journey through grief, silence, and self-discovery. When Chitra learns of her husband’s death, she glimpses a life beyond marriage — only to have that freedom taken away in an instant. Bulauwa is a contemporary feminist exploration of identity, desire, and the roles that bind women — asking a question that lingers long after the curtain falls: Can a woman truly exist beyond what society prescribes? Step into this compelling theatrical experience where emotion meets introspection and tradition collides with transformation.

Flash 2:25 PM
Duration: 50 Mins Age: +16 yrs+
by Manchtantra
When a woman is found murdered in a manner eerily reminiscent of the infamous Muse Killer case, what begins as a routine investigation slowly spirals into something far more sinister. Forensic expert Divya and crime photographer Amrit piece together clues from fragments, shadows, and unsettling silences, searching for truth in a world where evidence refuses to reveal itself. As chilling patterns emerge and certainty dissolves, the arrival of a mysterious officer threatens to shatter every assumption they hold. Flash is a taut, atmospheric thriller where stillness speaks louder than words — and every revelation deepens the mystery.

Baby 5:25 PM
Duration: 50 Mins Age: +18 yrs+
by Fourth Wall Productions
Baby unfolds the searing story of a young girl caught in a web of power, violence, and systemic neglect. As she is pushed deeper into a cycle of oppression and manipulation, she begins to internalize her suffering — mistaking injustice for inevitability. Each shattered hope exposes how easily a victim can be silenced, isolated, and abandoned. Raw, unsettling, and profoundly moving, the play forces audiences to confront an uncomfortable truth: when society repeatedly fails a victim, responsibility cannot rest on her shoulders alone. Baby is a piercing exploration of trauma, silence, and the structures that allow abuse to persist.

Bombay Dying 11:25 PM
Duration: 48 Mins Age: 16+ yrs
by Troubadours
Set against the fading industrial backdrop of Dadar East and the once-iconic Bombay Dyeing factory, Bombay Dying intertwines three lives drawn together by buried memories, unspoken guilt, and unsettling truths. As their stories collide through psychological twists and unexpected turns, the play unravels into a gripping meditation on the fragility of truth and the shadows of the past. With razor-sharp writing and haunting revelations, this layered drama challenges audiences to look beyond appearances and question what lies beneath reality itself.

Do Kono Ka Ghar 3:25 PM
Duration: 50 Mins Age: +16 yrs+
by Parivartan
Arjun and Tanvi enter marriage believing love will be their strongest foundation, only to discover the weight of unspoken expectations and quiet disappointments. As unemployment, ambition, and patriarchal pressures seep into their home — symbolised by the haunting presence of Arjun’s father — their relationship begins to unravel into a struggle of ego, vulnerability, and loneliness. Oscillating between sharp dark humour and raw emotional intensity, Do Kono Ka Ghar is a poignant examination of modern relationships, asking whether love can truly survive when silence becomes a wall between two people.

Untitled 12:25 PM
Duration: 55 Mins Age: 16+ yrs
by Natuve
Step into a delightfully chaotic household where logic takes a back seat and joy leads the way. At its heart is Goverdhan — a quirky philosopher of happiness who preaches life lessons while breeding lizards — surrounded by a family that embraces absurdity, humour, and hope in equal measure. As love, ambition, and societal expectations collide with tax inspectors and unexpected crises, the family refuses to let adversity steal their spirit. Through wit, satire, and heartfelt moments, this vibrant play celebrates resilience, imagination, and the art of finding laughter in life’s unpredictability. A charming blend of comedy and reflection that reminds us: when life gets messy, sometimes the only way forward is to laugh, adapt, and dance through it.

The Wedding Album 4:35 PM
Duration: 50 Mins Age: +16 yrs+
by Aman
Set within a middle-class household buzzing with wedding preparations, The Wedding Album slowly peels back the layers of celebration to reveal what lies beneath tradition and spectacle. As conversations unfold, long-buried emotions, patriarchal expectations, class tensions, and unspoken wounds come to the surface, exposing the delicate illusion of the “perfect family.” With a blend of gentle humour and searing honesty, this adaptation of Girish Karnad’s classic questions whether marriage is truly an act of love or a performance of social duty — inviting audiences to look beyond rituals and confront the truths they often conceal.
