What Women Want - Play. Writer: Miro Gavran. Director: Hidayat Sami. Cast: Gauri Balaji, Shivani Tanksale, Indu Sinha, Ratnabali Bhattacharjee, Girija Oak, Poulomi Ghosh & Sanghamitra. Noted English actress Sarah Miles once said "There's a little bit of a hooker in every woman...a little bit of a hooker and a little bit of God", thereby confirming the fact that the journey into the female psyche can be pretty arduous, if not a confusing one. Based on Miro Gavrans All About Women, this play takes that very journey and structures its findings in an unusual way. Here six women bring to life 18 characters in 5 different yet connected stories. In one story, the heroines are two sisters who have been on bad terms for years, while their mother tries to reconcile them. The second story is about two friends whose relationship undergoes a crisis when a third person appears. In the third story, the heroines are secretaries, each of whom wants to advance her career, at any cost. The fourth story is about three old ladies living in a retirement home, while the heroines of the fifth story are little girls at a kindergarten. The stories range from being poignant to hilarious, while the characters range from being insightful to absurd, but always remaining real. Through these diverse characters and their experiences with regards to love, friendship and even careers, the play pretty much tells usAll About Women!
