Agnipankh, which debuts this weekend, promises fire, heat and some good old-fashioned burns. The Hindi play is set in politically turbulent India of 1948. It tells a tale of Durgeshwari or Baisaab, a Brahmin matriarch with a tight hold on her zamindari household despite complicated relationships with her children and alcoholic husband. Then, Mahatma Gandhi is assassinated by a Maratha Brahmin and her world goes topsy-turvy.
