As a director, I can create a new world on stage: Shivani Tanksale

Based on a radio play by author Annie Zaidi, Jam was the South Asia region winner of BBC’s international playwriting competition and is now all set to be performed as part of the Old World Theatre Festival in the capital.

College friends Bina and Surekha finally meet after almost a decade and decide to spend some time together. But they soon find themselves stuck in a terrible traffic jam — “a situation most of us find ourselves in on a regular basis,” remarks Shivani Tanksale, who plays Surekha in the upcoming play, Jam. “It goes deeper and delves into the lives of the two friends, their friendship, secrets, and is a mirror to the present times in general,” adds Tanksale, who has also directed the 65-minute production.
