Qissa Khwani Theatrics

Qissa Khwani Theatrics The centuries old tradition of storytelling at the junction of two states, the Qissa Khwani Bazar Folklores were told at the bazaars of Peshawar centuries ago.

The vigor of stories has inspired places named after that tradition. Qissa Khwani Theatrics takes its name from the same celebrated tradition of tale telling and reserves a firm belief in the influence a story. Our aim is to come up with stories, which are compelling but ignored and to present them on theater with unprecedented innovations. We trust in the sanctity of stories and the tradition of storytelling. We believe that people are stories.
