Ultimate Kurukshetra

It is the first day of the battle of Kurukshetra.

As two massive armies face off and the battle charge is about to begin, a warrior of great repute is having a moment of self-doubt off stage.

But very far away from this central action, and completely obfuscated by elephant bums, we meet the protagonists of our tale. There they are, at the rear-end…of the rear-guard. Enter Sudarshanaa warrior, Adi—his charioteer, Daksha—a mahout and Maya—a courtesan. As their lives intertwine and destiny brings them all together to this truly epic moment in time, each of them must choose…the “right action”.

Ultimate Kurukshetra is a modern meditation on dharma, presenting the macrocosm of the great living tradition known as the Mahabharata, in the microcosm of the stage. While the comedy might appeal to all, those familiar with the moral conflicts and philosophical dilemmas in the epic might find some pleasant surprises.
