Dead on Arrival: A Play in Silent Acts

Play
The Divorce Guide
Performance | theatre

Some things said at a party follow you home.

Some silences last eight years.

Some conversations arrive too late.

 

Dead on Arrival is a play about what happens inside a long marriage when two people stop hearing each other - not all at once, but slowly, in the ordinary moments no one warns you about.

Written by Akaash Jayaram, this is not a story about a dramatic collapse. It is about the quieter kind, the kind that looks, from the outside, like everything is fine.

 

What You Will Watch:

You will enter one night in Bengaluru. A party. A bedroom. A conversation that took so long to happen.

You will hear what he said, what she heard, and what neither of them said at all.

You will meet Minu, not at a moment of crisis, but at the moment just before one. The moment when a person stops waiting for a better time and decides to make one.

This is a play about the words we say and the ones we never take back.

 

Why MDG Is Bringing You This:

At MDG, we work with people navigating separation and divorce every day. What we have observed is this: most transitions do not begin with a legal filing. They begin with a feeling that a voice has gone silent but no one is ready to address it.

Dead on Arrival puts that feeling on stage. It names it. And in doing so, it makes space for conversations that many people have never been able to start.

This is not therapy. It is theatre. But it may do what the best theatre does - show you something true about yourself.
