Chuhal is a Hindi play written by Manav Kaul. This production is a joint venture between Kissago Theatre and Kriti Stories, directed by Pallavi Verma and starring Shailja Chaturvedi as Aarti and Jonas David as Sudheer, who are also the protagonists of the play. The story starts when Sudheer comes to ‘see’ Aarti for marriage and goes on to evaluate, through these two characters, the existentialist tussle between what one has to be and what one wants to be, how one wishes to live. Aarti has this unusual idea of role-playing each other in order to momentarily be what they each wish to be. It turns out to be more than just ‘Chuhal’ (meaning playful tease) and starts getting serious. But, does it help them answer their questions? Does it raise more questions? Does it end?

"Paul Gomra ka Scooter" [Paul Gomra's scooter] is a work of huge contemporary relevance by the eminent Hindi writer Uday Prakash. The story’s eponymous protagonist is a Hindi poet who works with a Delhi-based newspaper. Paul Gomra was originally born as Ram Gopal Saxena but the cultural space and time rated it as quite a dated and lower class name. With time, our hero fell prey to the waves of socio-political change and ‘Pal’ gave way to Paul. Next was the turn of ‘Ram Go’ which became ‘Gomra’. With this revamped identity, begins his struggle to adapt to the socio-political backdrop of today’s India. With this new and modern tag of ‘Paul Gomra’, our hero takes a big stride and buys himself a scooter. But the dilemma remains as he doesn’t know how to ride it. Thus, he works out a solution and locates a man who would ride it to work with Paul as the co-rider. One night, Paul Gomra delivers a lecture at a high-end literary event where he describes a scooter as a revolutionary medium. He mentions that while Delhi would soon glide into oblivion, the newer Gurgaon is here to persist. On their way back home that night, the scooter meets with a mysterious accident but our man disappears after 72 hours.

Bookbinder Sakharam thinks he has the system by the tail and he can disregard the cultural and societal values as long as he is truthful. That system is the enslavement of women in post-colonial India. He picks up other men's discarded women—castoff wives who would otherwise be homeless, destitute or murdered with impunity, and takes them in as domestic servants and sex partners. He rules his home like a tin-pot tyrant. What he does not anticipate are the moral and emotional complications of this arrangement, which prove heartbreakingly ruinous to everyone involved. "Chuski Natak Ki" is an event conducted by "Theatre On Your Own" who plan to read classic plays in a dramatic manner, discuss the work of renowned playwrights, figure out the craft used in the great plays. It all happens over a chuski of tea and some snacks. This time we are revisiting Vijay Tendulkar’s "Sakharam Binder", incorporating a theme based dramatic reading. We would love to play with the audience mind by using different forms as the storytelling will be engaging and challenging at the same time. The target audience for the event is everyone who appreciates theatre and literature and everyone who like us gets inspired by a good piece of art. We have staged "Chuski Naatak ki " once every month starting from December 2015 at various location in Bangalore and got a very positive and appreciative response from the audience for our shows which encourages us immensely

Raghavanka a noted Kannada writer who lived in late 12th to early 13th century. Raghavanka is credited for popularising the use of the native shatpadi metre (hexa metre, 6 line verse) in Kannada literature. Harishchandra Charitham, is known to have one of the foremost works on the subject, with an interpretation unlike any other on the life of King Harishchandra and is considered one of the important classics of Kannada language. Raghavanka emphasises on racism along with untruthfulness prevailing in his times. Daring presentation of Raghavanka shows the importance of secularism for a healthy and prosperous society. Our play is a very apt at the present intolerance scenario, as we are just voicing out Raghavanka's view point. A herculus task of selecting of 115 shatpadi verses from the original Raghavanka's "Harishchandra charitham" and presenting production in the name of "Harishchandra kavya" should be credited to Shri K.G. Mahabaleshwar who is directing this great work. Plot is "Raghavanka visualizes the whole story and starts writing "Harishchandra charithram" with opening the plot from Devendra's palace where many saints, visionaries, philosophers and saint poets being present. Indra inquires Saint Vasista upon man of veracity among kings of Ikshvaku clan, in response to that Vasista identifies King Harishcandra as the man of veracity for which Saint Vishwamitra takes up the challenge to prove Vasista wrong.Raja Harishchandra sacrifies everything, faces lot of difficulties untill he breaks the myth of racism within himself. Ultimately Vishwamitra fails for Harishchandra's truthfulness".

The play foregrounds a young girl, her journey to self-discovery and the coming-out story of a young girl by name Preethi, and the life-changing moments in Preethi's struggle to cope with being "different."The intriguing play is set in a college and is a stark commentary on love. The play focuses primarily on Preethi's love affair but narrated through the eyes of her friend, Ajay, the central character. Their friendship goes through a succession of quick, dramatic growth spurts that reveal the complexity of friendship and show that Ajay ultimately comes to represent: a homophobic society that keeps its blinders on to naturalize straight relationships as the norm. The gradual unraveling of her sexuality, her confusion regarding her sexual identity, her violent attraction towards her love and the blossoming friendship between her and a male friend, form the central points of the play. The play is weaved into a complex character with intricate plot lines that break the taboo on lesbian identities.

'Beediyolagondu Maneya Maadi', written in Marathi by Cham.Pra. Deshapande, translated by Surendranath S., and Sripathi Manjinabail; directed by Mohit Takalkar, in a satirical and a humorous vein comments on the degenerating nature of religious festivals and disproves traditional dogma in a realistic setting. The occasion is the much celebrated Ganesh Chathurti right in the thick of Pune's middle-class, Maharashtrain-Brahmin dominated locality where the protagonist, Shreepad and his wife Sukanya have come to an agreement that every alternate year the razzmatazz of the Ganesh Chathurti will not disturb the sanctity of their home which in simple terms mean, no celebrating the festival and not even allowing its slightest sound or whiff to penetrate their house. Despite Sukanya's minor complaints all seems to go well until Shreepad's old aunt, her son and daughter-in-law unexpectedly turn up with their infant son with the solitary intent of watching the procession. The aunts voracious desire to witness the procession and Shreepad's staunch refusal to allow her to do so sets the tone of this humorous and remarkably pertinent play. As aunt and nephew take turns to explain each other’s situation with the aunt often scheming with the others to sneakily see the procession, the plot thickens. Shreepad's logical, reflective and philosophical rationalizations are balanced by the more immediate necessity of the situation that is both habit and religion driven. The processions approaching tenacity becomes a barometer for the muted tension that the characters begin to reel under and resonate the fallacious arguments of the brigade. The play also successfully evokes the mores of a middle-class, Kannada household as everybody await the final outcome of the battle of ideologies.

Life is about small details than bigger definitions. Love, anticipation, desperation and dreams make life a well garnished experience and these smaller notes are what makes life worth living. The compilation of small stories in Vasudhendra's Mithuna, based on Telugu original by Sriramana is one such garnished experience and gives a sense of life fulfilled with these smaller elements without much pomp and glory of intellectual reasoning. Our effort with this play is a sincere try towards bringing on stage, these elements that make life beautiful, simplistic yet contented. Childhood lurings, teenage attractions, old age love and the memories these experiences leave behind in one's life is what makes the life of a common man. Our effort is to bring up these common yet special elements that make the common man's life an uncommon one.

Kododilla Bidodilla is an adaptation of the play Can’t Pay-Won’t Pay written by Dario Fo. Through this play, Dario brings into fore the common problems and its difficulties to the middle class and how the establishment can turn a blind eye to all these. In a very funny way, he brings out the issues of price rise, unemployment and many other things through two middle-class families. Can’t Pay, Won’t pay is a revolt in itself by the bourgeoisie class against the establishment. Dario Fo is a Nobel laureate. Fo was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1997. He was popular as a playwright for writing about current issues and for his satire style of narration. He brought out the issues in the society very well through this characters and made sure that people started thinking about this in a very constructive way. Many of his plays have created a movement in itself to showcase the drawbacks of an establishment. This play has been translated and adapted to Kannada by Krishna Hebbale. We chose this play in continuation with the idea of bringing out socially relevant issues.
