Description
-
Promotional poster for Caught in the Net, a Hinglish adaptation of Ray Cooney’s farcical comedy. The play follows a London taxi driver who secretly maintains two separate families, until a web of misunderstandings and mistaken identities begins to unravel his carefully constructed double life. Known for its rapid pacing and escalating comic tension, the production reflects Desi Theatre’s focus on Hindi-language comedy adapted for diasporic audiences. By incorporating bilingual dialogue and cultural references, the staging situates a classic British farce within the linguistic and social realities of South Asian life in Silicon Valley.
