It's a story that needs to be told -- reflective of the current times, Bundelkhand ki Virgin Machhliyan is based on the novel The Virgin fish of Babughat by Bengali writer Lokenath Bhattacharya. The story is set in a concentration camp where all the luxuries of life are available, including abundance of sex. However, no one has choices here. "The play is a political satire and looks at the world through a comic lens. We talk about how surveillance has engulfed our lives and to show this, we have also used live filming techniques in the play," informs writer-director Sharmistha Saha. 


The play is being staged by Qissa Kothi
