Keval Arora premieres the play "Jhadpe," an adaptation of Catherine Hayes’ "Skirmishes." The production centers on caregiving and the emotional weight carried by people providing support, focusing on labor that often goes unnoticed. Multiple accounts describe the show as one that prompts audience reflection through its staged portrayal of day-to-day realities.
Sources also highlight the play’s use of theatrical techniques to blend stage and reality. They report that the production relies on sharp dialogue and inventive puppetry. In particular, the mother character is represented by a life-sized puppet, a method used in theatre to create a distinct visual and emotional presence onstage. Across the coverage, the combination of the adaptation’s themes and the puppetry approach is presented as central to how the play conveys its message.
