JAMMU, Apr 27: The 11th Natrang Theatre Festival started here today with the staging of Hindi play ‘Seva Sadan’ based on the story by Munshi Premchand which was adapted by Rakesh Kumar Gupta while the play was directed by Neeraj Kant.
In his welcome address, Natrang Director Balwant Thakur informed that Natrang has already created a record in the country by showcasing 40 different plays in eleven months.
The play starts with an honest police officer finding himself unable to marry his elder daughter-Suman to a good family because of hefty dowry demand and his financial limitations.
He tries corruptive ways to obtain money to meet his responsibilities towards his two daughters but lands behind the bars.
The paradigm highlighted in the play is that while corrupt people are rarely punished it is most probable that honest people are caught when they tread corrupt ways.
The artists who performed in the play were Manoj Kumar Lalotra, Sushant Singh Charak, Sumit Raina, Vrinda Sharma, Aarti Devi, Akshita Khajuria, Chirag Anand, Udit Sagar, Chahat Katyal, Kuldeep Angral, Gopi Sharma, Manandeep Singh, Aastha Sharma and Simran Singh.
The lights were designed and executed by Neeraj Kant and the music was scored by Manoj Kumar Lalotra.
The presentations were done by Meenakshi Bhagat and the show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
