About the Play:
"Tum Abhi Sote Raho," written and directed by Waqar Shaikh, is a compelling Urdu play that delves into the depths of human identity, reality, and the blurred lines between fiction and existence.

The play beautifully depicts how his creations come to life, challenging the very essence of their existence and intertwining in a complex narrative that transcends the boundaries between the creator and the created.

Urdu: Tum Abhi Sote Raho
