Sutradhar presents ‘Kisi Aur Ka Sapna’- It is the story of five actors rehearsing a script found in a garbage bin. The play traverses through different eras in history and politics, using the journey to display the various shades of a theatre actor’s life. The conflict between acting and reality, different interpretations of an idea, ‘does a script really need an actor?’ etc are just some of the issues the play deals with.

TM POTLE stands for The Missing Pieces of Your Tiny Little Egos. The play revolves around a theatre actor who is frustrated about her director being very strict. In this monologue, Simran Kaur, who is playing the lead, will have various shifts of emotions. She is struggling with the dialogues that her director has thrown at her, which are entirely absurd. She is constantly dealing with her inner turmoil. As the play progresses, we see that Simran is losing her mind. She sits and a sudden shift into the inner mind would reveal that she is not only the actor but also the director who has issues with her other-self. The play has explicit content (profanity).
