Daddy's lil girl !
Sun Apr 6, 6:00 PM
Octopus Studio
The play “Daddy’s lil girl” is divided in three parts which throw light on the 3 major parts of a woman’s life. The first
part is about how the parents of the girl are in doubt whether to have her or not, putting her very existence into
jeopardy. This part has both the mother and the father present arguments about why they should or shouldn’t
have a baby and another couple enacting the imaginations – both fears & expectations of the parents. How they
come to the decision whether or not they should have a baby is showcased in this part.
The second part shows the girl in her early twenties. She has just got a job and her parents are looking for
matrimonial alliances for her. However, she doesn’t like any of the matches her parents bring forth. After a long
wait, she does finally like one of the matches her parents bring and the wedding is fixed…but only a few days
before the wedding she gets to know something about the guy that will make her rethink her decision to marry
him. What is that thing..? What does she decide? How she copes with her decision? Does her family support her?
All these questions are answered in the second part.
The third part is a monologue that portrays the life of a highly successful woman in her mid-30’s and is a divorcee.
She is tired of the questions she is asked at every turn of life, the justification she has to give for every step she
takes. Annoyed at the change of people’s attitude towards her since the divorce, she expresses her frustration at
the lack of support from her close ones and expresses anguish at the current state of affairs of the chauvinistic
society.

Directors Note:
‘Daddy’s lil girl’ is a depiction of the various stages of women life which are influenced or
dictated by the allegedly ‘stronger’ sex or the same .This play is a unheard voice of the
ordinary women who fails to express he distress to her loved one & also talk about how
women can take control completely when required. We focus on her ….her sacrifices, her
fear, her strength, her ego , her happiness , her love , her passion & her every lil thing …!!
