The play explores the dynamics of being water-wives in water parched India. It talks about sexual politics as a weapon of exploitation against women who have no recourse to water except for common wells and rivulets. Tukaram, a farmer and his three wives, of whom only the first has conjugal rights, strive to survive in a water parched village. While the youngest wife Kali excels in farming, she has to take over the back-breaking work of fetching water from fifteen miles away, as that is the only way she can guarantee her food and a roof over her head. As she embarks to fetch water, she realizes that the water comes at a cost, the cost ofher dignity.
The play, written by V Balakrishnan, won The Hindu Playwright Award 2019, and premiered at Natarani, Ahmedabad in March 2020.
