JAMMU, Mar 31: The final day of Natrang’s Theatre Festival in connection with the celebrations of the ‘World Theatre Day’ witnessed a scintillating performance of ‘Hawa Hawai’, a comedy play in Hindi originally written by KM Mishr and brilliantly adapted and directed by Sumeet Sharma.
The festival witnessed the performance of different plays of different genres directed by different directors which itself was a treat for the audience.
The play showcased those people in a very comic manner who get taken away by any news and do not use their own discretion whether it makes any sense or not. ‘Suresh’ is a middle-class man who is having a job which pays him just as much that he could meet his requirements only. Resultantly, he has become a dreamer and gets gratification in all those news which may fetch him some happiness (whether realistic or unrealistic). One day he looks at a news item in the paper that very soon aero plane will be in the budget of a common man as scientists are making a two-seater aircraft which will be very economical. Exited by the news, he plans to dispose off his old scooter and seek some loan so that he could purchase the aircraft and raise his lifestyle, he even sees a dream with open eyes that he is flying in the air with his family and all the friends and relatives are jealous of him. He tells the same to his family and a close friend ‘Vinod’ and narrates the unique features of the plane and they get amused by his plans. But to the shock of everyone, when he reads the news till the end, it is revealed that it is just a planning and the Aircraft will be ready in next 40 years. Finally he asserts that we shall put our concentration on the important works so that it is not get diverted and we do not waste time in making castles in the air.
Pawan Verma acted as ‘Suresh’, Sumeet Sharma as ‘Vinod’, Aishwarya Sathe as ‘Shakuntla’ and Gopi Sharma as ‘Chintu’. The lights of the play were executed by Ankush Lakhnotra and the music was rendered by Vishal Sharma. The show was coordinated by Mohammad Yaseen, while Rajan Thakyal did the presentations.
