Come watch SETU’s new production: Once upon a time, NOT in Bollywood: an explosive play that explores the nuances of Indian politics while a parallel fantasy emerges through embedded Bollywood songs and dances. The protagonists Malati and Praveen are moderates who are trying to survive in a world dominated by extremist ideology on either end of the political spectrum and an ineffectual middle party that aims to incorporate everyone and pleases no one. What is the fate of Praveen and Malati’s budding college days’ romance? Praveen is harboring a deep secret: will that eventually catch up to him? Find out for yourself. Recreating all the exuberance and all the complexity that is modern India, this play will be as entertaining as it is thought provoking!
