I’m sure you are quite familiar with India’s iconic veteran stage and screen actor Shabana Azmi. She has taken North America by storm this past month as she stars in Girish Karnad’s play ‘Broken Images’ directed by illustrious stage personality Alyque Padamsee. The play has received widespread acclaim as it has toured the continent and there are just a few dates left on the tour through this weekend. If you are in these cities, or have friends in these cities, make sure to check out the show – it’s truly incredible.

The play is dubbed as a psychological thriller that brings out the various truths of the life of a celebrity writer, Manjula. Manjula is not a very successful Hindi short story writer. She suddenly becomes wealthy and internationally famous by writing a best seller in English. The question haunting Manjula is whether in opting for the global audience, has she betrayed her own language and identity? Now, without warning, it’s her own “image” who decides to play confessor, psychologist, and inquisitor. The play builds up with Manjula torn by various conflicts and ends in a very dramatic fashion.
