Play- A Small Family Business

Background of the play: Samson Sequeira is a man who upholds his principles in a corrupt world. He's a calm Goan Christian who married into a lively Punjabi business family in Delhi. After many years of devotedly supporting his wife and raising two daughters, Samson's father-in-law decides to pass on the family business to him.

However, right after taking on this responsibility, Samson is approached by a private investigator armed with compromising information. This incident marks just the beginning of a series of troubles. What was supposed to be the happiest phase of his life quickly turns into a comical nightmare filled with deceit and betrayal, putting Samson's integrity to the test.
