Two siblings, one very strange Aunt, and a flock of escaped birds... Magic and mayhem comes in unexpected shapes and sizes to one small corner of a very big city. Each part of this spectacular story by Anitha Balachandran will delight and amaze children. Together with the delightfully quirky text, this unique story brings to life the wonders of our city and the world seen through the eyes of these two - rather special - young children.

Mister Jeejeebhoy... has been performed in Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Bangalore, at schools, literature festivals and in theatres. Since 2013 it has had over 60 shows.
