  The Green Room - The Theatre Club of Ashoka University

  Jan 2022 - Dec 2023

  We worked on a production that dealt with the theme of communal violence in India. We created a reimagining of Mahesh Dattani's Final Solutions. The production dealt with different types of experimental theatre- theatre of oppression, cruelty, absurdity, etc. In the end, we put up a reimagining of Roald Dahl's Lamb to the Slaughter.
