A Searing play about a woman at the mercy of social forces that threaten to engulf her. Working on various levels, the play reveals her plight amid the inner violence prevailing in the society, revealed through a mock trial by a group of actors, that rises to a dramatic crescendo!

Is India really in Sync with the times where women power is concerned? In the presence of a powerful constellation of immortal Devis we pray to, are we giving the mortal woman her due? Hardly so! Gender discrimination and harassment has evolved new forms in Corporate workplaces. The existing male order, highly insecure and immature, conspires to limit the female rise in newer ways of victimization and corruption.

About the Group:
Ank repertory in its 36th year is about 40 strong and is headed by Mr.Dinesh Thakur who himself has completed 47 years in theatre.

For Ank, theatre is not just a source of entertainment, it also serves to keep history alive, to propagate and emphasise those cultural values and traditions which set us apart and identify us as Indians in the eyes of the rest of the world and most importantly to raise some questions, tickle some issues – almost always tongue-in-cheek. Within this larger framework, Ank believes that it is theatre which provides respite and rejuvenation to any society. For Ank therefore, theatre is serious and responsible work and quality the cornerstone of its belief.

Ank has always believed in quality and finesse with a larger purpose. It has always been our endeavour to put forward a thought, a message which appeals to our purer sentiment and instincts, bringing out the best in us, thus contributing in evolving better individuals in a more sensitized society.

An important aspect that sets Ank apart from many of its theatre contemporaries is the emphasis here on the actor and his abilities. All aspects of the physical body are to be explored as instruments and extensions of expression. In these days, when colour and form are taking a precedence over realism on stage, theatre remains for us the Actor’s medium. This is amply evident in our latest production of HUMDUM where a simple story becomes a humorous journey transcending old age & suffering.

Having come into being in 1976 and picked up momentum in 1978 with the emergence of Prithvi theatre and with the unforgettable encouragement from the Late Jennifer Kapoor and Shri Shashi Kapoor, Ank today has one of the largest bodies of work in Hindi with approximately 7000 shows of 77 plays all over the country and abroad.
