JAMMU, July 21: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Reed Rahit’ based on Russian writer Anton Chekhov’s ‘Nincompoop’ and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play opens in the house of one landlord who wanted to settle down his account with the instructor of his children, who was not paid the salary for the last two months.
The landlord tries to teach a lesson of self-respect and dignity of labour to the competent but gullible instructor, so he enacted a drama and started debating on the amount to be paid and tells him that he has to pay just Rs.1,100 to him after ridiculously forged deductions, against the expected and promised amount of Rs. 8,000.
Very submissive by nature, he just sits there, without saying a word in support of his genuine payment and accepts the money with gratitude.
Aggravated by such kind of spineless behaviour of instructor, the landlord bursts into an indignant rage and tells him that he should speak up for his rights and shall not allow anyone to exploit him, if we remain silent, no one will come to our support, thus we have to speak boldly and fight righteously for our rights.
At the end, the landlord pays him Rs. 8,000, putting an end to his human experiment.
Actors who performed in the play were Aadesh Dhar, Kushal Bhat and Mihir Gujral.
Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant; Priya Kumari presented the show and the show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
