FAMAGUSTA (Shortlisted for the Sultan Padamsee Playwriting Award, 2020)
This one-act play is set in the living room of the Siddiquis in Lahore circa 2000, when they have a visitor—a retired Colonel from India. A new friendship flourishes that evening with shared experiences at Partition and in the army. But as the night progresses, a deeper reason is revealed to actually bring them together—one that could threaten their newfound friendship forever.

Set in 1987 Bangalore, this one-act play switches between Molly’s Anglo-Indian home and Riverside, which is Peter and Srini’s video-cassette library close by. Peter and Srini are an interracial gay couple living in a hostile neighbourhood, who find an affinity with Molly and her 13-year-old nephew, Gogo. Before one knows it, things take an ugly turn revealing the underbelly of societal prejudice against the couple.
