Play Introduction:

A Story can be found in every lifeless object too as a life would have definitely touched it somewhere somehow. And if the lifeless objects are those entrances and exits we pass through or peek through daily, then for sure they would have stories attached to their existence. Such are the stories which are always connected to houses, doors or just the windows. Some say the houses are haunted by the inhabitants, some say the doors narrates a person’s life who has passed through it and hence is our play based on the miniature of these objects, A Window.

A Window is at a position where most passersby can peek into and the inhabitants peek out. Those are the passages of connection and sometimes the expressions exchanged. Hence a story shaped out of a window for our writer, Nuzhath M Syed, he tried connecting the dots which most of the windows had given him. The most common or nearest to reality he got after connecting the dots was, “The Woman at the Window.”

Nuzhath, the writer presents his writing through his own vision and narration.He passing by a window for his regular affair finds an expressionless face on the Window. That face attracts him for why it lacked any expression. After regularly seeing that face at the Window, Nuzhath one day finds courage to ask the person who kept visiting the house often the story of that face. The Play goes into the life of an expressive woman from there on, who was a painter and something rigorous and drastic happens in her life that all her expressions are lost and gone. The Play puts in front of you some very minute understandings of patriarchy and woman’s surrender.
