Created by Yugandhar Deshpande and produced with Mayur Deshmukh, this witty, fast-paced Marathi satire follows a struggling actor and his ensemble through the chaos, comedy, and passion that define life behind the curtain.
Every theatre artist dreams of the spotlight, but few talk about the chaos behind the curtain. ‘Backstagewala’, created and produced by Yugandhar Deshpande along with Mayur Deshmukh, offers a clever and heartfelt look at the world that unfolds before the curtains rise.
Through the journey of a struggling actor desperate for his first big break, the play captures the humour, heartbreak, and absurdities of life in theatre from eccentric co-actors and demanding directors to unpredictable audiences and relentless critics. With its sharp writing and satirical tone, ‘Backstagewala’ turns the unseen hustle of stagecraft into a lively commentary on art, ambition, and identity.
Balancing laughter with introspection, it celebrates the undying passion that drives performers to keep showing up even when the applause seems out of reach.
