Speaking of her directorial debut Ira told IANS, “There wasn't any particular reason why I picked theatre first and not a movie. I want to do both of them in my life. I just happen to be working backstage and I saw the stage and I thought let's do this. There was no particular reason why I wanted to do a play first and not a movie.”
Ira’s brother Junaid will also feature in the play.
The tragic play revolves around Medea whose husband Jason leaves her for a Greek Princess. Medea then takes revenge by killing her own children as well as Jason’s new wife. She heads to Athens and begins a new life.
