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.
A dedicated filmmaker; a brazen sex worker; a shy village simpleton; a rogue of a trucker…this is the world of Ok Tata Bye Bye.
Pooja and Mitch hope to document a sex worker’s life, but soon realise that it’s not as easy as it seems. Seema is uneducated, but intelligent enough to make them run around in circles. Rupa is shy, but keen to explore the world outside. The trucker is smart, but fooled by the village girls all the time. And the village is not even on the map, but Amway has found it.
There is a lot to be found and perhaps a lot to be lost in this little village…a hub of commercial sex on the Indian highway. Nothing and nobody comes for free here…a price has to be paid eventually
