Written by Manjiri Pupala and directed by Jaimini Pathak, this solo drama revisits Shakespeare’s age-old query, “What’s in a name?” – unfolding as a tender exploration of love, identity, and the quiet power of relationships.
In this powerful one-woman performance, written and performed by Manjiri Pupala and directed by Jaimini Pathak, a simple question, “Manjiri, what a beautiful name! How did your parents come up with that?” – unravels into a deeply personal reflection on love, identity, and companionship.
As the protagonist retraces her relationship with her father and others who shaped her, the piece challenges contemporary ideas of connection and affection. Returning to Shakespeare’s age-old question, “What’s in a name?”, it offers a poignant reminder that names carry stories, inheritances, and meanings that continue to evolve with us.
