Synopsis:
One on One is a unique theatrical evening, bringing together Mumbai’s finest actors, written by some of India’s most talented playwrights and directed by seven of our best-known directors. These monologues and duologues in English and Hindi address subjects as varied as the state of India’s bureaucracy, the legalization of homosexuality, inedible airline food, the politics of road-naming ceremonies, the joke of Ajmal Kasab’s trial and the experience of living in a big city... stories of modern India that amuse, annoy and concern us all.
Director’s Quote:
“One on One is like the Woodstock of theatre – abundant theatrical talents coming together, different writing styles and varying direction approaches. As a writer/director jostling for space in this sea of riches, it’s a true challenge.”
