Theatre and plays are a journey, both for the audience and the cast—a feeling that producer Meghana AT, and director and playwright Mallika Shah connect with, and aim to reflect through their play, I Killed My Mother/ It Wasn’t My Fault. It all started with “one mother-daughter fight” and a workshop assignment for Mallika, prompting her to write a poem, Killing my Darlings, full of angst and rage against her family. This,  eventually, became the base of her script.

“I had an idea for a play that explores the conflict between the outer voice and the inner voice, where the outer voice has to be a certain way in society and unable to speak every inner thought out loud, and how those thoughts affect us, creating a dissonance with ourselves,” Shah tells us.
