JAMMU, Dec 23: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Saadat Hasan Manto’s play ‘Maachis Ki Dibiya’. The play was directed by Neeraj Kant and it appeared like a typical romantic saga where boy meets girl and magic begins but it surely carried a much deeper thought at its core.
In the story of play a young girl ‘Lajjo’ goes to borrow a matchbox from neighbourhood, but the tenants had changed and she finds a young man ‘Vedi’ there. They had a crisp yet meaningful conversation and developed affection towards each-other and the next meeting was also planned.
But amidst the romance, the story also has an undercurrent of poverty and loneliness in the city that never sleeps.
Actors who performed in the play were Shivam Singh, Manoj Kumar Lalotra, Sameena Kousar and Meenakshi Bhagat.
The supporting staff included Shivam Singh, Neeraj Kant Sharma, Sushant Singh Charak, Aarti Devi and Mohd Yaseen.
