What's it like to be a lawyer defending an accused in a molestation case? A play in Bandra this weekend explores the delicate subject

Ravi Kant Nirala and Gourav Dubey
The event has been rescheduled to April 26 as a precautionary measure to fight coronavirus.
Balli Sharma is a lawyer who is fighting to defend his client Pankaj Shukla, accused of molestation by his neighbour Maya Chakroborty. While the case itself has several twists and turns, director Gourav Dubey in his play Lawgically Speaking, chooses to look at story from the lawyer’s perspective. “The idea was to focus on the life of an advocate, the threats they face and the flaws of the judiciary that affect them,” says Dubey who first performed this as a 20-minute piece in February 2019 at What Next?, a programme by city-based Rangshila Theatre for students to showcase their talent.
