The play revolves around Madhu, a boy from a small village in Madhya Pradesh who has a passion for storytelling. He comes across as a mysterious person who changes the trajectory of his life, which leads to an existential journey. And the plot revolves around whether he finds his karma, or succumbs to the vagaries of life.

“The students do everything, from writing the script to directing the play themselves. All we do is provide them with guidance and arrange for a professional venue, like Prithvi Theatre, for them to stage it in. In fact, most of the students from our earlier productions have applied for Thespo (the youth theatre festival at Prithvi) this year,” Kaushik says.

He adds that Naatya Shastra also ensures that at least one veteran theatre artiste is present in the audience whenever these plays are performed. His or her role is to give feedback that helps the students learn. The guest invited this time around is Akvarious founder Akarsh Khurana. So join him in the audience to give the Mumbai collegians a taste of what it means to make money out of theatre, since they also get to bag a portion of the ticket collections.
