Of myriad women, their passion and grit

A Crea-Shakthi

play

, Dolls delves into 10 personal stories part real, part fiction all through 10 women and the sum of their experiences. The piece is

Dushyanth Gunashekar

, while the cast includes artistes Keerthi Pandian, Namita Krishnamurthy and Urvashi Goverdhan.

Sometimes, we seek way too much inspiration from idols and heroes at a distance, we forget the everyday challenges, conflicts women face, and more importantly, overcome. In different styles of storytelling, the play attempts to weave in the spirit of women – each of their stories, symbolized by a doll, that brings forth humour, pathos, wit, passion, grit and a myriad of emotions that we as a society have been ignorant of. Their stories may not seem special, but they ring true to the audience, and we experience it every day. But it’s special to them – the actors, as they live it every day.

The play will be staged on May 11 and 12 at

Jagriti Theatre
