Gupp Chup Gapp

In an adaptation of ‘45/35/55’ by Smita Bharti, four sisters with different temperaments, dreams and ideologies are forced to live under one roof for a year if they want to benefit from their dead mother’s property and wealth. As diehard beliefs hilariously collide with age-old habits, they enter into a war zone where neither of them will pay for the daily expenses of the house. As a result, they hit upon the idea of bringing a tenant into the house. One outside force enters their lives like a whirlwind blowing away cobwebs of manipulative habits, patterns, beliefs, and ideologies, nurtured over a lifetime; bringing out their vulnerabilities and forcing them to be honest with each other.

Gupp Chup Gapp renders an endearing and entertaining canvas for burning issues of gender equality, sexual abuse, the need for self-reliance and an empathetic attitude towards other human beings. The play is a juxtaposition of the serious and the mundane; the marvellous and the absurd performed and supported by the IAS Officers’ Wives.
