I call it theatre through the lens," says Rajit Kapur, defining an upcoming production he's part of perfectly. For it is a blend of both theatre and cinema. Titled One on One – Unlocked and produced by Rage Productions as part of Paytm Insider's recently announced theatre initiative, Front & Centre, the project features 10 lockdown-themed monologues created by 22 noted playwrights, directors and actors; besides Kapur, it also includes Aahana Kumra, Sunday mid-day columnist Rahul daCunha, Anu Menon, Purva Naresh, among others. It will premier on August 14, and extends to September 13.

The first edition of One on One premiered in 2010 and this one is its third — the only thing that has changed is that the format is now digital. "We were planning to have a third one for the past two years but couldn't get it done. Then, during the lockdown Shernaz Patel [co-founder of Rage Productions, along with daCunha and Kapur] came up with the idea of doing it," Kapur shares, while Patel adds that, "Plays are meant to talk about the world we live in. This is a historical period. So, I though why not document it?"
