Gubbare, a fun-filled musical, dramatizes delightful stories of classic writers like Oscar Wilde, O Henry, Leonard Merrick and Katherine Mansfield and adapts them in Indian cultural context. The stories appearing in the play are marked with signature surprise endings and are peopled with motley characters: there are two rival actors from a natak mandli who do role play in real life to outsmart the other; a scary ghost who finds himself getting scared and bossed around by a crazy family; two goofy tapori goons whose plan of kidnapping backfires in the most absurd way and a pessimist girl who is caught amidst wedding shenanigans.
