JAMMU, July 7: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Tauba-Tauba’ written by Rajinder Kumar Sharma and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play presented some debatable issues which are faced by many theatre groups because of lack of commitment of some artists.
The play opens at the home of one ‘Anokhe Lal’ who has converted it as rehearsal space as he is the director of a play which is scheduled to be staged within a few days. The drama erupts as the play proceeds and the artists who used to plead for a single entry in the play have turned pricy now and come up with different excuses to skip the rehearsals. At the top of it, the newly appointed servant adds to the confusion as he comes up with a new problem every time he enters the room.
‘Anokhe Lal’ was very much worried about the performance as nothing was going right, actors were forgetting the lines, people were coming late in the rehearsal and tickets of the show have already been sold.
The ultimate crisis occur when the director comes to know that the actor who was doing the role of father of hero is not doing the play as he has to go out of station for some personal work and he decides to prepare his newly appointed servant to do the character of father, who reluctantly agrees but real trouble erupts when the real father of ‘Anokhe Lal’ arrives to whom the servant introduced himself as father of ‘Anokhe Lal’ on which both the servant and Anokhe Lal received a thorough beating from the real father.
Actors who performed in the play were Mihir Gujral, Aadesh Dhar, Vandana Thakur, Kushal Bhat, Brijesh Avtar Sharma and Chaitanya Shekhar.
Lights were executed by Neeraj Kant Sharma and the show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
