🎭 Shabana Azmi Doubles the Drama: Broken Images Hits NYC
2,928
🌆 The Icon Returns to the Stage
Shabana Azmi is back — and she’s bringing twice the power. The legendary actor stars in Girish Karnad’s Broken Images, now playing in New York City.
It’s not just theatre — it’s a mirror of identity, language, and the stories we tell ourselves.
“It’s about truth versus translation. About the parts of us that never get seen.” — Shabana Azmi
💡 The Play in One Line
One woman. Two versions of herself. A conversation that blurs reality and reflection.
Azmi plays Manjula Sharma, a writer whose fame turns fragile when her own voice speaks back to her — through a screen. What follows is a psychological duel between ego and truth.

🎬 Why Broken Images Still Feels Fresh
Originally written by Girish Karnad, the play asks: Who are we when our stories belong to more than one language? In 2025, that question feels timeless and urgent.
We live in multiple selves — online, offline, public, private. Azmi’s performance reminds us that every version is still real.

✨ Shabana Azmi, Unfiltered
Every line she delivers carries decades of craft. Every pause feels intentional — quiet but thunderous.
The dual-screen format keeps the audience locked in: one Shabana live, one reflected. It’s mesmerizing — a masterclass in control and chaos.
🔊 Creative Control & Cultural Power
This production is more than nostalgia. It’s South Asian theatre claiming its space on the global stage.
Azmi embodies modern feminine strength — a woman who writes her own narrative, literally and metaphorically.
