JAMMU, Feb 11: Theatre group Natrang here today staged Hindi play ‘Park’ written by Manav Kaul.
The play was directed by Rahul Singh—National fellowship holder of Union Ministry of Culture in the field of Theatre.
Speaking on the occasion Natrang Director Padmashri Balwant Thakur said that in its consistent effort, Natrang has been endeavouring to showcase new talents through a diverse range of new concepts and scripts. The play ‘Park’ is about three men engaging in what seems like a petty brawl over a park bench. The story unfolds, as the title suggests, in a park, which could be in any Indian city, where life is marked by the continuous jostling for space.
Three benches stand in this park, one for each of the three men who enter. They squabble, nevertheless, over one hallowed seat, with each man presenting a back story and an argument. It starts out as banter and one-upmanship but turns into something very serious that could escalate into violence.
The actors who performed in the play ‘Park’ were Sheryaar Salaria, Sumit Bandaral, Arun Sharma, Amit Brahmi and Kananpreet Kaur.
Lights of the play were executed by Brijesh Avtar Sharma whereas the sound was rendered by Aadesh Dhar. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
