THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST PREMIERE

House of Joy

Written by Madhuri Shekar

Co-Directed by Agastya Kohli and Moumita Bhattacharya

Co-Produced with Pratidhwani and Seattle Public Theater

May 16th - June 8th, 2025

In an Imperial Harem, in a place like India, in a time like 1666, distant and yet familiar, the women of the court live on an idyllic estate protected by an all-female guard. Men cannot enter the House of Joy and the women cannot leave. Witness a story of loyalty, betrayal, oppression, politics and romance told with language, movement and spectacle.
