One of the greatest playwrights this country has produced, Vijay Tendulkar cast his lens on societal oppression, and paved the way for regional theatre. Tomorrow, Delhi-based theatre troupe Empty Bottle Theatre and Arts Society will stage a Tendulkar classic, Baby, at an Andheri venue.



Directed by Ashutosh Singh, the play revolves around the life of a young woman named Baby who works as an extra in the film industry. But she is exploited by a slumlord who also harasses her brother Raghav. Singh shares that the play is a dark one but is an experience in itself.


“It tackles the notion of women believing that they are weak. We’ve been rehearsing it for two months. It has been staged in Delhi but we wanted to bring it to Mumbai. There are no re-runs planned as of now but we hope to do a show at Prithvi Theatre,” he says. All COVID-related safety and distancing measures will be maintained at the space.

On: March 4, 8 pm
