The play Bombay Sketches is a theatrical illustration from the city of Mumbai which connects the urban community to rural India in a cultural, social and political perspective. Bombay is a city that compresses the time and space smaller than the minuscule. This city with its frozen tears, untold pain and the sighs scared to breathe out give a different perspective to its humanity. It talks about different politics. That too is politics of the trodden, politics of those who lose their shelters, politics of those who get exploited and that of women who are commodity always. That's why this city is red. So each and every human of Mumbai is a museum which tells you an unveiled facet of our time and space.Written by Ramachandran K & directed by the young and promising reputed director Prasant Narayan, Bombay Sketches is the illustrations of a human collective which unveil a contemporary history. It terrifies the city as a silent scream. Nothing can replace the life of Bombay which forgets the violent blast of a Killer Bomb overnight. That is why the Bombay is a synonym of Red.
