JAMMU, Jan 17: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged a new Urdu play ‘Pehli January’ written by Showkat Thanvi and directed by Neeraj Kant.
In play, Rashid’s wife Shakila gets up in morning listening alarm on clock set by Rashid.
As she gets annoyed on listening alarm, Rashid says that he had set the alarm so that they may visit January 1 parade in the morning.
They resolved not to quarrel on this day as this may make their whole year go like that.
But during discussions they start shouting on one or the other topic and Rashid blames Shakila for spreading rumours of his quarrelsome behaviour among her relatives.
Shakila retaliates that Rashid was defaming her among his relatives and a fight arouses among the couple when their servant Kallu enters to ease the tension but fails in that.
In the meanwhile, another couple Jamila and Siraj enters and are astonished to see the situation. But in place of easing their tension, they themselves start fighting.
Siraj avoided tea at his home and now here too the chance of getting some tea is not clear. Thus Siraj and Jamila too start quarrelling and Kallu enters with tea, but in unclean cups and even without biscuits which again triggers fight and Rashid leaves the house without taking tea and leaving behind the guests, who too were quarrelling.
Shakila runs after Rashid and Shiraj runs after Jamila and then Kallu enters to make fun of the couples.
The artists who participated in the play were Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Kananpreet Kaur, Kushal Bhat, Sagar Gupta and Diksha Pandita.
Lights of the play were executed by Neeraj Kant whereas the sound was rendered by Lovely Sharma. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
