The play has been directed by Mahesh Dattani. A world renowned English Playwright, Mahesh has directed various plays in English but ‘Sara’ is his first attempt with the Hindustani Language.

Sara is a dramatic enactment of the life and times of Sara Shagufta, one of Sub-Continent’s most controversial poets whose life was troubled with personal conflict, which found expression through her creative outpourings. Largely based on her letters to Amrita Pritam, this dramatization takes us through her struggles and victories as it does try to fathom her innermost yearnings. Sara Shagufta’s is an important voice because it came from a deeply conservative society of the seventies and early eighties. She flouted the rules laid down by her society and yet deep in her heart she yearned for the very things that a civilized society offers an individual. Love, family and life lived with dignity. Did she acquire these in her short time on earth? Yes and no.

The play has been written by Delhi based journalist Shahid Anwar and Seema Azmi (NSD) will portray the role of Sara Shagufta.
