JASHN-e-QALAM

At JASHN-E-QALAM, we believe Stories have the power to change and inspire the human heart and mind. A Mumbai-based collective of professional stage and screen actors, we celebrate the brilliance of Hindustani Literature with Solo Performances of Short Stories; at theatres, cafés, pubs, academic institutions, offices and homes. Our craft is Storytelling — Devoid of any Sets or Props, it is the oldest and simplest form of Theatre, practiced since the dawn of civilization. 

Our repertoire features over 30 iconic the works of renowned writers like Munshi Premchand, Saadat Hasan Manto, Rajinder Singh Bedi, KA Abbas, Kamleshwar, Ismat Chughtai, Amrita Pritam, Vijaydan Detha and Bhisham Sahni.

The introspective and interactive nature of our shows results in the creation of a space for Discussion and Dialogue  — empowering the audience to become Storytellers in their own right.
