Manav Kaul's PARK

About the Play – PARK

Written by acclaimed playwright Manav Kaul Park is a thought-provoking and symbolic Hindi drama set entirely on three benches in a public park.

The play explores the conflicts and conversations among three distinct characters — Uday a mentally unstable man; Madan a strict idealistic school teacher; and Nawab a man burdened by his past and personal tragedies. What begins as a trivial fight over a place to sit slowly unfolds into a deeper reflection on identity territory loneliness and the human condition.

With minimal set and maximum emotion Park becomes a metaphor for life — where everyone is looking for their own space their own peace and their own bench.
