Broken Images Play Featuring Shabana Azmi In A Double Role - Chicago

Get ready, Chicago! Witness the brilliance of Padma Bhushan awardee Shabana Azmi, one of India's most celebrated actors, in “Broken Images”, a powerful solo performance that will leave you speechless.

Directed by Alyque Padamsee and penned by acclaimed playwright Girish Karnad, this English-language psychological thriller takes you deep into the fractured world of identity, media, guilt, and the power of the spoken word.

Shabana Azmi plays two contrasting roles — a well-known Hindi writer and her own image on a TV screen, who begins to question her reality in front of a live audience. This intense, edge-of-the-seat play blurs the lines between truth and deception, revealing hidden emotions, secrets, and shocking revelations.

With masterful storytelling, haunting visuals, and a stirring performance by a legend, Broken Images is more than just a play — it is a thought-provoking experience that challenges perception and selfhood.
