The Djinns of Eidgah | Abhishek Majumdar - Friday 16th @ 19.30

There are certain conversations that usually remain unresolved, especially when dealing with the kind of polarities that make up the brutal narrative of latter-day Kashmir. The answers are always obfuscated. There is that imminent choosing of sides that is considered to be in order. This is something that a new play appears to carefully sidestep (at first), dealing instead with the emotional toll of living in a war-zone-where war is waged in the name of peacekeeping-and of what we have all lost in the process, if indeed there can be a 'we', either in terms of a nation, or in kinship of a universal kind. Abhishek Majumdar's play THE DJINNS OF EIDGAH delves into the human condition masterfully, and his powerful writing is beautifully realised on stage by its director, Richard Twyman.
