Dystopian Dreams
“We live in strange times” is an understatement today. “We also live in strange places, each in a universe of our own.”—This Douglas Adams quote can be seen in a new context these days. Dystopian Dreams is a collage of three short plays exploring our own space at this time.
In Rajib a single woman is dealing with her pandemic confinement. Protighat is an exploration of an inevitable moment in our immigrant life and how we respond to it. The Insurrection is a story of someone like us who came to the US in search of the American Dream. However, life decides to take its own turns leading the protagonist down a dark path with shattering consequences. Taken together, these three plays explore the fragility of our contemporary existence.
