Much has been said and written about famous Urdu and Persian poet Mirza Ghalib. His ghazals have been interpreted and found a prominent place in mainstream media and his life has been portrayed on the small screen and on stage. But very little is known about the people who played a prominent role in his life.

New Delhi-based theatre group Pierrot Troupe’s Ghalib Ke Khat aims to throw light on these individuals. The play is a dramatic presentation of personal letters Ghalib wrote to his friends, disciples, relatives and even government authorities.
