*Title: Sordid & Other Plays *ISBN: 978-8195726929 * Publisher: Dhauli Books * Publication date: 21 July 2022 * Format: Paperback * Page count: 164 pages * Description: This collection includes three plays that have been performed extensively, including at Natarani Amphitheatre (Darpana), Ranga Shankara (Bengaluru), Spaces (Chennai) and at the Alliance Francaise of Madras. The plays explore conflicts that challenge the status quo and our connivance with the powers that be. The plays present their political dialectics in usual and known spaces: in a remote unnamed village parched for water, in a professional dancer’s dissonance that forces her to confront herself, and in the ruptured bedroom of a newly-wed couple that threatens their imagined futures. These plays do not follow a particular style of writing and offer characters whose behaviours are often mundane, banal, and even predictable; and within that gamut of the known, the flotsam of revulsion and terror emerges.
