  1. Hi! I watched your play being performed at Saarang a year ago. You guys did extremely well and i also loved your script. I am a member of Grim Pumpkin Theater, an amateur theater group in Hyderabad. And we were wondering if you could share the script of "Confessions of an Actor" with us. We will maintain the script and acknowledge the authorship sincerely. Please contact me at ayuship.09@gmail.com
