House of Joy

By Madhuri Shekar

Co-Directed by Agastya Kohli and Moumita Bhattacharya
Co-Produced with Pratidhwani and Seattle Public Theater

May 16th - June 8th, 2025

In an Imperial Harem in a place like India in a time like 1666, in a land far away and, yet, somewhat familiar, the women of the court live on an idyllic estate - House of Joy - protected by an all-female guard. Men cannot physically enter the House of Joy and the women cannot leave. Witness a story of loyalty and betrayal, oppression and justice, politics and romance, told in a way you've never seen before!

Runtime: 2 Hours 45 Minutes (including an intermission)
