The play “Daddy’s lil girl” is divided in three parts which throw light on the 3 major parts of a woman’s life. The first part is about how the parents of the girl are in doubt whether to have her or not, putting her very existence into jeopardy. This part has both the mother and the father present arguments about why they should or shouldn’t have a baby and another couple enacting the imaginations – both fears & expectations of the parents. How they come to the decision whether or not they should have a baby is showcased in this part. The second part shows the girl in her early twenties. She has just got a job and her parents are looking for matrimonial alliances for her. However, she doesn’t like any of the matches her parents bring forth. After a long wait, she does finally like one of the matches her parents bring and the wedding is fixed…but only a few days before the wedding she gets to know something about the guy that will make her rethink her decision to marry him. What is that thing..? What does she decide? How she copes with her decision? Does her family support her? All these questions are answered in the second part. The third part is a monologue that portrays the life of a highly successful woman in her mid-30’s and is a divorcee. She is tired of the questions she is asked at every turn of life, the justification she has to give for every step she takes. Annoyed at the change of people’s attitude towards her since the divorce, she expresses her frustration at the lack of support from her close ones and expresses anguish at the current state of affairs of the chauvinistic society. Directed by: Rahul R Directors Note: ‘Daddy’s lil girl’ is a depiction of the various stages of women life which are influenced or dictated by the allegedly ‘stronger’ sex or the same .This play is a unheard voice of the ordinary women who fails to express he distress to her loved one & also talk about how women can take control completely when required. We focus on her ….her sacrifices, her fear, her strength, her ego , her happiness , her love , her passion & her every lil thing …!! Written by: Sherin Bhat Entry Passes - 9885730673
