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 boy picks up a football. A doctor picks up a toy. A girl picks up a story. A boy picks up a shoe. A soldier picks up his gun. A boy picks up a stone. A vulture picks up a bone. A Djinn picks up from where he left off.... The Djinns of Eidgah
is the story of Ashrafi and Bilal, two children stranded in the tragic impasse of Kashmir.
