| Natrang stages Hindi play 'Girgit' | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Dec 1: Hindi play 'Girgit' directed by Balwant Thakur featured here today in Natrang's weekly Theatre series 'Sunday Theatre' at Natrang Studio, Jammu. Based on a Russian short Story by Anton Chekhov the play is a hard hitting satire on the present socio-political system. The adaptation of the play was deeply rooted in the soil of Jammu and its dramatic structure made the audience feel as if they are watching their own story. Natrang consistently endeavours to showcase highly relevant plays to its audience and in this series choicest plays of different genres and languages have already been featured. 'Girgit' revolves around a dog and corrupt police officer, who changes colours like a chameleon, every time as the situation changes irrespective of right or wrong. The stage action starts when a dog bites a pickpocket who approaches the Police officers to help him to roundup owner but in vain. A passerby hints that the dog belongs to the local Minister as he saw a similar dog moving around his Bungalow. On getting his clue, the officer starts beating the pickpocket for teasing a respectable dog having lived a high life. The officer claims that a dog of Minister cannot bite unless and until forced to do so. While he is beating the pickpocket, another man from the crowd observes that the local minister cannot keep such dog, as he is known to have pointer-hunting dogs only. |
