AURAT! AURAT! AURAT! Story :
An all-female cast enacts selections from Ismat Chughtai’s autobiography and three other writings (Ek Shauhar ki Khaatir, Aadhi Aurat Aadha Khwab, and Soney ka Anda), which are essays rather than stories. These reflect Ismat APA’s abiding concern for the state of womanhood, her impatience with empty rituals, and her anger at the condescension women are subjected to.
