About the play:

This is a story about two people in this city.
She is the expert narrator, he is a mischievous sutradhar.

These two story-tellers have amazing stories to share.
Problem is, they don't agree on how to tell the story!

Creeper is a modern re-imagination of the tale of Vikram and Betal.
The play slams this ancient cycle of folk-tales into a contemporary
urban setting – creating a shadowy world that is immediately
recognizable, yet bizarre and entertaining.

Darkly funny yet poignant, the play freewheels between the old and the
new – creating a landscape that happily contains – pornography,
literary theory, orkut, Chandamaama comics, exorcism, blogging, Silk
Smitha, foul language, Kurt Cobain, a big tree with a Barbie doll
nailed onto it and a magical(?) box with something inside.

Creeper was developed under a Sarai-CSDS Independent Research
Fellowship and has previously been performed in Bangalore, Delhi and
Heggodu. The script development process has been blogged at
