Theatre practitioner Sujatha Balakrishnan is a firm believer that art forms must go beyond entertainment to include social criticism and political activism. So in 2015, she started Theatre for Change in Bengaluru to address social issues in a theatrical format. Four years hence, she is ready with an all-women act where performers will tackle issues they face via monologues.

Chinua Achebe wrote, "Until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will glorify the hunter." And that's the theory on which the Mumbai edition of the play is based. "One-sided stories are dangerous, for they ensure that the dominant notions prevail. Counter stories give an insight into the reality of the situation, which is what we are offering with this edition. We asked those who came for the auditions to tell us their experiences, and now they will be sharing them," Balakrishnan shares. As it's difficult to sustain the audience's interest with just monologues, they have interspersed it with poetry, music and movement.
