JAMMU, May 22: Legendary Hindi playwright Mohan Rakesh’s play ‘Vimukh’ was staged here today at Natrang Studio Theatre in its weekly Sunday Theatre Series under the direction of Rahul Singh.
An absurd presentation based on a lower middle class household with a very fresh jonour was showcased here today. “Papa” is an ill man who is on bed since two years and “Mamma” has been taking care of him since then. She is a lady who does all the work herself and is somehow frustrated about the condition of her husband. But, on the contrary she also loves him as they had lived so many years of marriage happily and she cares for him from the core of her heart.
They have one son who is in London and two daughters who are in the same city. But, their children are least bothered about their condition. Jahangir, their son, keeps writing letters to mamma telling that she should send papa to old age home. Mamma hides all the letters of him from papa so that he doesn’t feel bad about them. But, papa knows that he always writes the same thing in each letter.
Jamshed, their servant is a very irritated character. He is irritated by them because mamma sends him here and there to borrow things from others but from everywhere he comes back empty handed and insulted which makes him feel irritated.
The play ends on a frustrating note by mamma on papa because she is really tired of his illness and somewhere wants him to get well so that she can also have a support. The play was very diverse with heart rending emotions of mamma as well as papa as an helpless couple who is alone and repeats the same things every day.
The actors who performed in the play were Rahul Singh, Aishwarya Sathe and Shivam. The music was played by Brijesh Avtaar Sharma whereas the lights of the play were operated by Neeraj Kant. Mahikshit Singh presented the show and the show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
