Strictly Unconventional

Get ready for a bold, beautifully unconventional night at the theatre that breaks all the rules! The hit production "Strictly Unconventional" is playing live in Mumbai tonight, Saturday, August 15th, 2026, at the prestigious NCPA. Exploring the wild, quirky, and deeply touching realities of modern love, this uninterrupted 1-hour and 40-minute showcase is the absolute perfect pick for an exciting and thought-provoking weekend date night.

If you are looking to skip the usual mainstream narratives and dive into stories that are funny, emotional, bold, and wildly entertaining, this show belongs at the top of your list. "Strictly Unconventional" is a brilliant anthology of short, quirky plays that lift the curtain on human connections that don't fit into traditional boxes. 

The evening weaves together several fascinating slices of life: a gay man and a polyamorous woman discovering genuine happiness together; a woman bravely walking away from a completely sexless marriage; a transgender couple navigating a terribly awkward public talk show; a modern couple tackling mental health; a self-absorbed pair bragging about their "perfect" bond; and an old man looking back at his life choices with deep regret. Written and directed by the visionary Faezeh Jalali and brought to life by the talented FATS Arts group, it promises an unforgettable theatrical journey. 

The performance takes place tonight at the Experimental Theatre inside South Mumbai's iconic NCPA. Delivered entirely in English, the show blends comedy and heavy drama seamlessly into one fluid run without an intermission break. Due to the mature themes and open discussions around modern relationships, entry is strictly restricted to audiences aged 16 and over. Just an essential reminder to post for your visitors: the venue operates a zero-tolerance late policy, and late entries will not be permitted under any circumstances. Tickets start at ₹708 onwards on BookMyShow, but because slots are officially marked as "Filling Fast," you'll want to lock down your seats right away!
