Synopsis
AN AUTO parts warehouse in Kashmiri Gate. It’s the morning of yet another mundane Monday. A young man, earning a living loading axles and sweeping floors, harbours dreams of a college education and a better life. In the meantime, his more jaded co-workers stumble through the workday in a haze of hopelessness. One of them seeks refuge in poetry, some in alcohol. The action in the play takes place in the course of two Mondays.
Directed by Sanjiv Agarwal, this Hindi play is based on a little-known gem by Arthur Miller, ‘A Memory of Two Mondays’. The original is set in a Brooklyn warehouse during America’s Great Depression in the 1930s and is based on the playwright’s own experiences of that era and the “insecurity of modern existence”. In Miller's own words, he has "never written anything with greater love".
The play has been translated into Hindi and set in contemporary India by Dramatech’s Umesh Vyas and the production’s ensemble cast. This is the first time an adaptation of this play is being staged in Delhi.
About the director
A MECHANICAL engineer by training and profession, Sanjiv Agarwal has had an abiding passion for theatre since his IIT Delhi days. Some of the plays he has helmed for Dramatech are: “A Streetcar Named Desire”, “Ek Jaam Auntiyon Ke Naam”, “Accidental Death of an Anarchist”, and “The Front Page”. Notably, The Front Page, performed just before the pandemic, ran to packed houses in Delhi and was also performed at Shimla’s Gaiety Theatre.
Director-speak
“This play is autobiographical not just for Miller but also for me. I myself have worked for almost 35 years in the same automobile engineering company. I've seen many workers come and go. I’ve experienced first-hand the strangeness of someone whom you have seen day after day, year after year, suddenly leave. Some moved on, others retired to their village, some died. Never to be seen again. But Monday after Monday, the work never stops. This play is my homage to such common people, the real heroes of our nation. It’s a light-hearted look at the reality of working life and has its comic moments. And also the sad ones.”

AGATHA CHRISTIE’S
TOWARDS ZERO
Official Trailer
This first ever Indian adaptation of Agatha Christie’s accomplished detective novel, Towards Zero, finds friends and family members gathered together in a lonely cliff-perched seaside house turning into unsuspecting victims for a murderous psychopath. This play seeks to unravel a crime that has been long in the making and planned to the minutest detail. Murder thus becomes not the beginning but a culmination of many different circumstances converging ‘Towards Zero’. This whodunit, built on a double deception turning on itself, promises edge-of-the-seat thrills in its progress to the revealing climax.
