‘It’s not a play, but it’s all about a play’

Every theatrewalla has this passionate worm inside himself to perform onstage, but one initially encounters the world of inglorious Backstage. Backstagewala is a narrative that gives us the inner shades of a struggling actor who wants a golden chance to prove himself to satisfy his glorious passion.

He tries hard through various means and ways, from struggling to enter a particular Theatre group to getting a chance to get a single entry on stage to satisfy his passion. The narrative humorously represents the variety in the types of actor’s audiences and critics who altogether develop a full-throttle drama. It also hilariously describes the process of a play and various motifs used during its process.

Narrative’s humour deliberately points out the various categories of people with different perspectives and ideologies that are present in the field of Theatre and Arts and Backstagewala shares such a story of our young protagonist who has come to accomplish his dreams but can’t really make his journey from Backstage to Onstage. But is he still satisfied?
