Adapted into award-winning short films, these plays invite readers on a journey of inner exploration, offering moments of reflection, healing, and awakening.

These minimalist plays have been performed on stage to leave audiences spellbound. Seamlessly blending spirituality, philosophy, and the magic of theatre, these plays offer powerful narratives that are as easy to stage as they are profound to experience.

Each play offers a fresh perspective on the human quest for meaning:

Who am I? — A young, successful CEO with everything money can buy is haunted by a single question that takes him on an inner journey in search of his true self.
Where Heart Meets Mind — A charming allegory where the Heart and Mind meet, debate, and ultimately discover the beauty of working together instead of competing.
That Uncommon Conversation — A chance encounter on a train transforms a man’s pain into a profound spiritual awakening, as he experiences the oneness of all existence.
The Brave Coward — The moving story of a brave soldier torn between duty and conscience as he prepares to execute a so-called heretic, only to confront his fear and humanity.
Visiting the Earth — A delightful, thought-provoking tale where a celestial visitor observes and reflects on the joys, struggles, and contradictions of human life.
I am in Love — A gentle, soul-touching tale on the purity of unconditional love that transcends ego and boundaries.
These minimalist plays are easy to produce — no elaborate sets, no heavy props — just powerful dialogues and ideas that linger long after the curtain falls.
