Dear Team Lamakaan,

Greetings from Lighthouse Theatre Group.

“The Worker” is a Telugu adaptation intended for a live theatre audience. Synopsis of The Worker

The Worker is a sharp, symbolic play that explores the quiet violence of modern labour. Set in an urban middle-class household, the play follows a corporate employee trapped in a cycle of job pressure, emotional exhaustion, and moral compromise. As his workplace demands increasingly dehumanizing “favours,” the strain spills into his domestic life, turning love, care, and dignity into transactions.

Through satire, repetition, and intimate domestic moments between husband and wife, the play exposes how systems of power invade personal spaces, reducing individuals to obedient workers even within their own homes. The Telugu adaptation places the story in a contemporary Indian corporate setting, making the conflict deeply familiar and unsettling. The Worker questions whether survival within such systems is possible without losing one’s humanity.

Looking forward to your response. Entry fee: 100

Warm regards, Lighthouse Theatre Group, Faheem 8555875297
