After its successful first run in Mumbai, The F Word returns for its second run in Mumbai and makes its way to Delhi the following weekend. Presented by Aadyam Theatre (an Aditya Birla Group initiative), the play is a satirical take on the bittersweet dynamics of a dysfunctional family and their untold personal affairs and how it shapes the identities of the family members. It is directed by widely-acclaimed producer-writer-actor-director Akarsh Khurana and produced by Akvarious Productions.

The F word – where F stands for the other infamous word – Family, takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of raw and complex emotions as the family confronts their past and present while grappling with the fragility of their relationships with one another. The play follows Chetan, a high school teacher, and his estranged sister, Unnati, a psychologist, in their quest to understand their parents’ tangled marriage. They unwittingly open a Pandora’s box of family secrets swept under the rug for years as they try to navigate a conversation which is long overdue. The story plays on the idea of how every family has skeletons hidden in their closet in a humorous way yet also unfolds into a moving and profound human exploration of love and loss.

And this absorbing contemporary and comical take on intricate bonds is brought to life by an incredible cast. Akash Khurana captures the indignities of ageing with humour and pathos in his role as the Father. Meanwhile, Siddharth Kumar essays the role of the brother, bringing depth and nuance to his character while revealing his vulnerabilities and flaws. Malaika Shenoy, in her portrayal of the Sister, breathes in wisdom, charm, and sensitivity into her character. And Garima Yajnik shines to perfection as the friendly and familiar Restaurant Owner.

The F Word is a must-watch not only for theatre enthusiasts but for anyone who understands the unique complexities of human relationships. The heartfelt tale will surely give you plenty to think about with its dose of humour, interesting wordplay, excellent direction, and outstanding performances.

The second run of the shows will be performed at Mumbai’s Experimental Theatre at NCPA on June 24 and 25, 2023, with two performances each at 4:00 PM and 7:30 PM.

The shows in Delhi will take place on June 17 at 4:00 PM and 7:30 PM and on June 18 at 4:00 PM. and 7:30 PM. Book your tickets now on BookMyShow.
