Written, directed, and co-produced by the uber-gifted Ali Junejo, the multifaceted talent also stars in the show. Commenting on the play, he says, “‘Both Sit In Silence For A While’ is a play born of many little musings and maybe some reflection. All the fun ‘what if’s’ I could throw at these two, I chucked at them mercilessly. To see what would happen.” Co-producer and co-star, Rasti Farooq shares her take on the play, stating, “Both Sit In Silence For A While tickles that part of my brain that wants to see people be unreasonable and merciless with one another. Because often times that’s the place where most of us hide in our most private moments. It’s been a supreme joy traversing that space with Ali.”
