Magical Creatures Of Mumbai’s Underbelly
In the big city of dreams live creatures most people no longer dream of. One where Medusa creeps through the quarters of a brothel, a cartel of birds burgeons a drug racket; a struggling actor cracks the chromosome to superstardom, and mermen kidnap fishermen by the coastline. Between the cramped by-lanes, behind the glittering skyline, beneath the dirt of the Arabian Sea; ordinary moments take an extraordinary turn as people rub shoulders with magical beings lurking in the shadows.

About
Sneh Sapru is an award-winning playwright of the critically acclaimed theatre shows ‘Hello Farmaaish’ and ‘Elephant in the Room’. She’s been nominated for the META Theatre Awards, the Hindu Playwright Award, and has won the Sultan Padamsee Award for ‘Hello Farmaaish’. When she isn’t cooking up new worlds, she dabbles at amateur doodling. Weird people and weirder stories are at the heart of her biological chemistry. She lives with her boyfriend and their two dogs in India. Hens is her name spelt backward and her lateral better-half.
Her first book of short stories ‘Magical Creatures Of Mumbai’s Underbelly is available worldwide on Kindle.
