Set in 1951 the years immediately following the Partition of India and the creation of Pakistan, Ek Haan is a powerful and poignant exploration of the life and writings of Manto through the eyes of Kashmiri journalist Wazira who follows him to Pakistan to interview him for her newspaper. Through the interactions of Wazira and Manto that range from provocative to mysterious , some of Mantos finest stories Toba Tek Singh Kali Salwar and Thanda Ghosht come alive on stage. Facets of Manto's life hitherto unknown and unexplored spill forth. Who is Wazira and why is she probing Manto so relentlessly? how does she know what she knows and will Manto be able to provide the closure she is looking for?

Starring Shekhar Suman and Suchitra Krishnamoorthi with an able supporting cast, written by Neha Kargeti and directed by Randhir Roy , Ek Haan will transport you to the mind and heart of Manto , Indias most important pre and post independence writer . Indias most fiercely feminist writer who's stories seem AS, if not more relevant in our current political and cultural climate. To know and understand the writings and the life of Sahadat Hassan Manto is to reach out and touch the wounded womb from which New India was born.
