Watch stories from Chughtai’s life
An all-female cast enacts selections from Ismat Chughtai’s autobiography and three other writings, namely, Ek Shauhar Ki Khaatir, Aadhi Aurat Aadha Khwab and Sone Ka Anda, in Motley’s Aurat Aurat Aurat!. These are more essays and ruminations, rather than stories. They reflect the author's concern for the state of womanhood, her impatience towards empty rituals and her anger at the condescension women are subjected to. The play has been directed by Naseeruddin Shah, who, in his own words, saw a “treasure hoard suddenly open up” When he first came across Chughtai’s “chatty style of writing.” The cast includes Seema Pahwa, Trishla Patel, Shruti Vyas, and Dhruv Karla in key roles.
