Natrang stages comedy play 'Kauva Chala Hans Ki Chaal' 5/29/2016 11:40:10 PM Agencies Chandigarh, May 29: Natrang's Sunday Theatre reaches Chandigarh with the presentation of world famous Moliere's super comedy play 'Kauva Chala Hans Ki Chaal' at Tagore Theatre Chandigarh in Jaspal Bhatti Comedy Sunday. The show was organized by Department of Cultural Affairs, Chandigarh Administration and Tagore Theatre Society. The highly hilarious play was directed by Sumeet Sharma who has been conferred Sangeet Natak Akademi's prestigious Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar for Theatre Direction and has devised a distinctive knack for the effective presentation of such plays. Resultantly the play received warm appreciation of Chandigarh audience. The play 'Kauva Chala Hans Ki Chaal' is Hindustani adaptation of world famous French comedy by Moliere 'A Bourgeois Gentleman'. The play is based on the story of Kumar, a middle-aged man whose father grew rich as a merchant. His sole aim in life is to rise above his middle-class background and be accepted as an aristocrat. To this end, he orders splendid new clothes and is very happy when anyone calls him 'High Class'. He applies himself to learning the gentlemanly arts of fencing, dancing, music and philosophy, despite his age. In doing so he continually manages to make a fool of himself, to the disgust of his hired teachers. His philosophy lesson becomes a basic lesson on language in which he is surprised and delighted to learn that he has been speaking 'Prose' all his life without knowing it. His intelligent wife sees that he is making a fool of himself and urges him to return to his previous middle-class life, and to forget all he has learned. A cash-strapped nobleman called 'Chadha' attaches himself to Mr. Kumar. He secretly despises him but flatters his aristocratic dreams by telling Mr. Kumar that he has mentioned his name to the bureaucrats so that he can get Kumar to pay his debts. Kumar dreams of marrying a Princess and Chadha very cleverly promises him to facilitate his affair but actually he himself was dating with 'Princess' on Kumar's money. Kumar's daughter 'Dolly' loves a middle class boy 'Kukku' but this relationship is not acceptable to Kumar as he is very class conscious and wants to marry his daughter in a very rich and reputed family.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
