Our longest running play is on the road again. After Chennai and Bangalore a few months ago, now it's time for Ahmedabad. We are performing at Prakash Auditorium as part of the Times of India Festival.
Jayati Bhatia dons the green saree and performs her unforgettable role as the orphan girl who grows to become the matriarch of one of the more powerful families in newly Independent India. The play about love, family, responsibility and the strength of a woman who 'wraps the family in the web of her providing' has been directed by Q.
Thespo Connection: Vivek Rao, who later became the Festival Director for Thespo 9 in 2007, was and still is an integral part of the production team for Khatijabai. He was also an actor as part of a platform performance at Thespo 6 in 2004. Also, the lighting director, Arghya Lahiri, had been instrumental in the formation of Thespo. He also directed for Thespo and won numerous Thespos for the same.
