Playwright's Message
Haresh Sharma

When I was in secondary school, the only plays I ever watched were those Teacher's Day ones, where we all have a lot of fun and then feel very embarrassed about the whole thing. And two days later, nobody remembers anything.

Before you grunt in protest thinking this is going to be a 'how lucky young people today are' message, let me continue first.

Young people today are very lucky. No, but seriously. You have more opportunities, more exposure to the Arts, to the world, more fashion sense...

But with these 'mores', inevitably comes stress, pressure, competition. A little bit is ok, but a lot can drive a person over the edge.
