Imagine entering a theatre and finding yourself surrounded by fluttering wings, curious characters and a story that needs you to take flight. Anitha Balachandran’s story Mister Jeejeebhoy and the Birds (Young Zubaan), has been reimagined as a play, written and directed by Shaili Sathyu of the Gillo Repertory Theatre.

It follows two siblings, a peculiar aunt and a flock of escaped birds in a whimsical tale packed with mischief and imagination. Here, the audience is part of the adventure, with children helping the story take shape as it unfolds.
