A moment from the play Naqqaash

This month will mark 15 years of an idea that led to the emergence of 50 new playwrights and 41 plays that have been staged across India. Between December 2016 and March 2017, the British Council will present staged readings of plays from Writer’s Bloc, an initiative by the British Council, The Royal Court Theatre in London and RAGE theatre in Mumbai to discover, train and introduce new playwrights to Indian audiences. The line-up also includes interactions with playwrights and a workshop by Writer’s Bloc alumni to be conducted across nine cities.
