What happens when two women - who are complete opposites - find comfort in each other's company in a big, bad city?

Cynical traffic reporter - Milli, meets enthusiastic school teacher - Sara, in a wonderful, heart-warming drama set in Mumbai.

This adaptation of Diana Son's "Stop Kiss" focuses on the unfolding of a love story, amidst hate crime. However, it can take far more insidious forms at the center of Son's play.

ANTARANG

Season 3

An initiative by The Actor’s Truth

‘Antarang’ is a theatre festival, where we encourage actors to push the boundaries of convention and explore the most basic instincts of acting, by producing something new and provocative. Our goal is to provide an environment for our actors to develop and showcase new plays, where there is so much more to experience and achieve. We look forward to introducing new and creative work to our community.

The plays showcased in Antarang season 3 are mirrors to those aspects of our society that we choose to be oblivious to. We aim to address issues like female foeticide, child abuse, sexual molestation, marital rape, homophobia or even commonalities like mental illnesses that are often shoved under the carpet.
