About Mahabharata
A centuries-old epic takes center stage in a new one-actor adaptation of "The Mahabharata" by Geetha Reddy, featuring Ubuntu Company Member J Jha. "Mahabharata" concerns the story of a dynastic struggle for the throne of Hastinapura, the kingdom ruled by the Kuru clan. The culmination in a battle produces complex conflicts of kinship and friendship, and asks questions of family loyalty, duty, and righteousness.

—Geetha Reddy, Playwright
