Synopsis:
This play which raises serious questions about art and friendship, concerns three long time friends- Sameer, Mathur and Yohan. Sameer indulging his penchant for modern art buys a large, expensive, completely white painting. Mathur is horrified and their relationship suffers considerable strain as a result of their differing opinions about what constitutes "art". Yohan caught in the middle of the conflict, tries to please and mollify both of them. As the conversation starts to get more and more combative, we realize that the issue is about more than just a white painting.

Synopsis:
Lonely caretakers of the Carrasco mansion, the Salgaonkars have a chance meeting with Aakash and Tara. Due to her strong resemblance to Veronica Carrasco, the long- dead daughter of the family, the caretakers gradually convince Tara to pretend to be Veronica to bring solace to her dying sister Michelle, who believes that Veronica is still alive. Once dressed in Veronica's clothes, Tara finds herself locked in the room, in the imaginary role of Veronica. Or, is she Veronica, pretending to be an imaginary Tara?
