With Whatsapp and Snapchat becoming the latest muse for Generation Next, playwright Anupama Chandrasekhar’s Free Outgoing might be perfectly timed. Directed by Mahesh Dattani, the play addresses issues like widespread addiction to technology and the media circus around the slightest mention of female sexuality in our society. “When I first wrote the play in 2005-2006, the Delhi Public School MMS incident was one of the key triggers for the story. The media was much younger then. It was a time when cell phones, SMS and MMS were just coming into our lives, a world before Facebook and before the times of Arnab Goswami,” Chandrasekhar explains.
