Thakishi Samvaad represents a groundbreaking moment in Satish Alekar`s literary career, being his first play to grace the pages of publication prior to its stage premiere. Set against the backdrop of a pandemic-induced lockdown, the dark comic narrative unfolds around an elderly protagonist surrounded by Amazon cartons, symbolic of both modern consumerism and the isolating times. In the midst of this contemplative setting, he engages in a profound dialogue about Marathi playwrights and the history of Marathi theatre with Thaki, his devoted accomplice. Together, they navigate the challenges imposed by this pandemic, intricately exploring themes of loneliness, resilience, and the innate human need for connection through the interplay of characters and symbolism.
