The promise of a will and inheritance binds together the fates of a business tycoon, his family, and his mistress. But what happens when a cunning twist changes everything? Human relationships and family are at the heart of Mahesh Dattani's "Where There?s A Will". The play delves into the lives of an upper middle-class desi family, exploring with both humor and tragedy the compromises, sacrifices, and dishonesty that lie beneath the cloak of duty, family loyalty, and the personal identity.
