Ek Aur Dronacharya, penned by Shankar Shesh, is a thought-provoking and hard-hitting play that remains profoundly relevant even today. It portrays the moral conflict of a teacher who becomes the modern inheritor of Dronacharya's legacy, caught between personal integrity and societal pressures. The play functions both as a reinterpretation of a historical myth and as a powerful critique of contemporary society, illustrating how power, corruption, and institutional compromise can erode even the noblest ideals. By drawing parallels between the ancient epic and the present, Shankar Shesh transcends mere retelling, using mythology to expose enduring human dilemmas and to question the ethical foundations of modern education, justice, and social systems.

Bias Check Theatre was founded by Nikhil Ahuja, a theatre practitioner and creative professional who advocates for theatre as a medium of dialogue and introspection. His vision for the company is rooted in the idea of "multi-perspective storytelling"—creating narratives that encourage audiences to look beyond simplistic notions of right and wrong and instead appreciate the complexity of human experiences. One of the group's notable productions was Sheher-e-Manto, inspired by the writings of the legendary Urdu author Saadat Hasan Manto.
