About the book

Based on The Jataka Tales, this theatre book reimagines 4 stories of the Bodhisatta, a person who is yet to become a Buddha.

•A partially blind son to a mariner who seeks to prove to his father that he can claim the same title as him – The Master of the Sea.
•A young prince who is thought to be the prophesied child of the empire but turns out to be a disappointment. However, mysterious events unfold with the appearance of a stranger.
•A frail prince nicknamed ‘the Weakling King’ who has to protect his empire from the Garuda kingdom.
•A blacksmith, touted as the curse to his family, who has to travel to the village of blacksmiths to uncover a 20-year-old secret behind his bloodline.

Who is at fault? What’s the secret hidden beneath?

All 4 plays lead to their common destiny, the truth behind their lives.
