1-888-Dial-India is writer Anuvab Pal's new play, one that dissects modern India to expose evil businessmen, aspirational employees and a yawning generation gap

Anuvab Pal, the writer-director who is on the verge of achieving celebrity status in Indian English theatre, describes the lead character of his latest play as a cross between Lalit Modi and Mephistopheles ("without the lisp," an actor adds). "In the sense that he has a relentless drive for entrepreneurship. If he can't play cricket here, he'll take it to South Africa. These are the people building the new country," says Anuvab.
