• Play Synopsis: Kamla touches on the concept of modern day slavery and domestic oppression. Jaisingh Jadhav buys a slave named Kamla and brings her home for a press conference where he wants to use her to prove that the flesh trade still exists. His wife is horrified and wants to take care of Kamla. Her uncle, Kaka Saheb, is sympathetic to both sides but mostly wishes to protect his niece from Jaisingh´s domination. Written by Vijay Tendulkar, this play is inspired by a real life incident in India which occurred in 1981.

Yeh Adalat Hai, etc. His interest lies in critically analyzing Tendulkar´s work as this is his third theater project for the playwright.
