Through the Eyes of God by Anusree Roy
Details
Two decades after Anusree Roy wrote her hit play "Pyaasa", she makes her return with her new play.
Chaya, the protagonist at the centre of the original play, is now a spirited young woman and mother, who is arrested for the desperate act of stealing rice to feed her young daughter Krishna. But soon she faces a far greater horror, Krishna has been trafficked to Delhi.
Driven by primal, maternal love, she embarks on a gut-wrenching journey through the underbelly of a broken system, where every lead is a gamble and every choice is impossible.
"Through the Eyes of God" is a piercingly emotional and sharply critical journey that asks, how far will a mother go to protect her child?
