Mumbai Traps : Collected Plays  (Paperback, Anju Makhija)

Mumbai Traps' includes six intriguing plays set in India's first genuinely metropolitan city. The first narrative ‘If Wishes Were Horses' deals with the perennial housing shortage faced in the city and how life gets topsy turvy when a wealthy lady wills her flat to a street vendor! 'The Last Train', a political satire, touches on the lives of commuters cramped in overcrowded local trains. 'Cold Gold’, with three women characters , has stolen jewelry at the heart of the plot. Musicality and mysticism create bizarre scenarios in 'Meeting with Lord Yama' and ' Off the Hook'. An eclectic mix for both readers and performers. Through the words of a Sahitya Akademi award- winning author, we experience Mumbai, where glamour, greed, communalism, social and surreal situations depict life in a state of perpetual restlessness.
