JAMMU, Mar 31: On the concluding day of ongoing 10th Natrang Theatre Festival to celebrate 35 glorious years of the theatre group, Natrang here today staged World Classic ‘Riders To The Sea’ in Hindi.
The play has been written by John Millington Synge and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play ‘Riders to the Sea’ was set on an island off the coast of Ireland and begins with Nora bringing in a small bundle with her and telling Cathleen that these may be the clothes of their brother Michael. The young priest told her a body of a drowned man was found at Donegal, and the body might be Michael’s. The sisters are scared to open the bundle of clothes because they do not want their mother, Maurya, to know that. Michael has been missing for a week and the family had already lost five men to the sea. Maurya is prepared for the funeral for Michael, with whiteboards for his coffin ready at the cottage. Maurya, Nora, and Cathleen discuss the last son, Bartley, who is also planning to go the sea to sell the family horses so they could get some money. Islanders bring the body of Bartley into the cottage and tell the women that the grey pony knocked Bartley into the sea, where he drowned.
The artists who performed in the play were Meenakshi Bhagat, Vrinda Sharma, Manoj Lalotra, Arti Devi, Vanshika Gupta, Kananpreet Kaur, Ajay Lalotra and Sumit Raina. The Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant while Sushant Singh Charak scored the Music. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
