Batameez Dil (2013/Gujarati)

Mareech Ka Khel (2014)

The entire team did a superb job of portraying the synergies between our epic Ramayana, traditional rural India with its history of exploitation of the peasantry and the so-called “democratic” West. The show was insightful, thought-provoking and beautifully presented. We thank you for giving us the opportunity to ‘live’ the nostalgia of Hindi theatre.
Shobha Shrivastava, Bank Manager Westpac New Zealand Limited

The play was thought provoking. The play does a good job of highlighting this central theme and how it keeps recurring across time and space, and is common to all human societies.

Ek Adhuri Kahani – ITF (2015/Hindi)

Karti Kaljat Ghusli – ITF (2015/Marathi)

Ver Na Bhavetar – ITF (2015/Gujarati)

Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi (2016/Gujarati)

The ease with which this play is staged belies the complexity of language, casting and theatre art. This is an important play, a pioneering attempt at Gujarati theatre in Aotearoa.
Rahul Gandhi, Theatre Review – Auckland

The play takes you on an emotional roller coaster where you can’t help but stop laughing in the first half and get stung by the grief and frustration of the three in the second. A must see for all those who enjoy a live stage performance in accented and unpolished vernacular Gujarati of Saavarkundla.
