There are other sorrows in life beyond the agony of love; there are other joys to life than that of being in love, wrote poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz. Amidst an abundance of plays that explore the arguably overdone theme of romantic love, Bhopal-based writer and actor Amit Tiwari Anand brings to the fore a heartwarming solo play that deep-dives into the makings of a sweet friendship. The actor will present Manto ke Mammad Bhai, based on literary legend Saadat Hasan Manto’s eponymous short story about his unexpected and fulfilling friendship with a local goon, Mammad Bhai.

The play will feature stories from Play (Pila) House in Kamathipura
