Confessions from a Mental Asylum follows the raw, unsettling, and darkly humorous journey of Maverick, a man whose only crime is refusing to live a life shaped by monotony and social conditioning. An absurdist soul with an instinctive intolerance for pretense, Maverick navigates the world with a brutal, unfiltered honesty that society cannot or will not  tolerate. His refusal to conform becomes the very reason he is branded “unstable” and confined to a mental asylum (There are other reasons too that will be revealed in the play).

Inside the asylum’s walls, Maverick encounters a world that is ironically far more absurd than he is. Through fragmented memories, surreal conversations, and sharply honest monologues, he unravels the thin line between sanity and insanity. The institution meant“fix” him becomes a mirror reflecting society’s fear of truth, individuality, and unpredictability.

The play blends absurdism, introspection, and dark wit, immersing the audience in Maverick’s confessions, sometimes chaotic, sometimes painfully clear. Confessions from a Mental Asylum challenges the audience to question the conventional sought of expression in communication to society and ourselves, should they be re-evaluated or their existence is a Burden.

The Pintu Bhaiya: Notorious gang leader, local legend, and most importantly, a hopeless romantic, desperately in love. Our young, impressionable narrator tells this tale of "love", small town shenanigans, and displaced identities with humour, satire and a rare innocence that will warm your heart, make you burst out laughing and sometimes cry (lekin Pintu bhaiya ne bola hai ki "Rona Nahin Hai!")

Kaumudi (Moonlight) - a play in Hindi - is about a rite of passage. Using the moonlit timeless night on which Krishna delivered knowledge to Arjuna as its central trope, Kaumudi explores the dynamics between an estranged father-son duo who play Eklavya's ghost and Abhimanyu respectively, in a theatre in late 1960's Allahabad, over three days - the last three performances of a great actor who has nearly lost his sight; and, in so doing, the play brings to light the ghosts of caste-based injustices, the passing over of knowledge from a father to a son, a thespian to an upstart, the banality and beauty of art, and how an efficient mode of production ultimately replaces a lesser efficient mode. The play is inspired by two texts : Anand's Malayalam Novel 'Vyasam Vigneswaram' and Jorge Luis Borges' essay ‘Blindness’.
