Twelve incredible plays scripted by 12 imaginative minds come together for one unique festival—Writers’ Bloc.
Writers’ Bloc is an initiative by Rage to identify and nurture promising playwrights. Of the 104 contenders from all over India, 12 playwrights were identified to be trained by the best in the business—The Royal Court Theatre, UK. With major support from the British Council and the JSW Foundation, and with expert training provided by the Royal Court, these 12 playwrights worked for one year on developing new and exciting plays.
And Writers’ Bloc is where they will be staged for the first time. Mumbai’s finest talent, along with brilliant theatre groups from Bengaluru, Chennai and Delhi, will share with you these stories over a 10-day festival.
"I see my hand turn it on. And see my eyes and a part of my brain agree. And the part that sort of doesn't, just goes quiet and allows it... and then participates... or goes too numb to care. It's ... comforting. But sometimes, not often, it suddenly makes me crave my patch of sky."
There is the urge to create. There is the need to survive. And then there is television! Satellite City is the kaleidoscopic world of a motley bunch of characters and their struggle to make their lives about something.
