JAMMU, June 30: A new play ‘Firouti’ originally written by Uday Shankar Bhat and directed by Neeraj Kant was presented here today in Natrang’s weekly Theatre Series ‘Sunday Theatre’.
The play opens at the home of one ‘Baisakha Ram’ where all the family members are very tense and ‘Baisakha Ram’ himself has turned mad as someone had kidnapped his son and is demanding a huge amount to set him free.
Miser to the core, Baisakha is not ready to pay a single penny no matter what happens to his son. His family and well wishers try to make him agree to pay the money as money and material is far less important than the relations, that too akin. But he pays no heed.
His ‘Munim’ is also much concerned about his reactions after receiving the threat letter. He even tries to suggest him different resources from where he arrange and can pay off the money and get his son released, but of no use.
At the end the son comes home but the happiness of Baisakha Ram gets evaporated on knowing that all the amount of morning collections has been paid to get him back. He turns unconscious but the other family members are happy to find their family member back in the home.
Ashwani Bali as ‘Baisakha Ram’, Sajra Qadir as ‘Maa’, Mohit Sharma as ‘Pathan’, Uplaksh Singh Kotwal as ‘Munim’, Mohd Yaseen as ‘Beta’ and Vineet Sharma as ‘Beti’— all performed their respective roles with professional flair.
Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant and Music was scored by Sachin Saini. The show was anchored by Rahul Singh.
