'The Nowhere People' is the translation of an award winning Marathi play, 'Adhantar', a landmark on modern Indian theatre. This masterpiece is a provocative exploration into the destruction of the world of textile workers in Mumbai in the nineteen eighties. At the heart of the play is the Dhuri family which is caught up in the unholy bind of capitalist forces and corrupt political practices that lead to the criminalization of youth. Though written in the nineteen eighties, the play continues to be relevant in the present cultural-political scenario.
