It revolves around an old, lonely woman, Amma Bi who sits in a gigan- tic laal haveli in Lucknow. The drama aims to transport the audience through Amma Bi’s journey from loneliness to self-discovery. Talking about how he executed the play, Kapur says, “I present it as an evening where I read out the novella to my audience in the way I have perceived it. Through the central character, I have focussed on how she looks at life and what happens to her.” He adds that in Dopehri, we would discover that there is so much more to human existence than we actually think. “You realise how this 65-year-old woman goes through the he draped the saree in put her on the stage.
