Jammu | Feb 10
A play ‘Kahani Ek Kuttey Ki’ based n the classic story of world known Russian writer Anton Chekov was staged as part of the Natrang’s Sunday Theatre series here today.
The play resolves round 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 (Central character) bites a pickpocket who approaches the officer to help in rounding up the owner of the dog with the objective of obtaining hefty returns. The dog begins to search for the owner but in vain. A passerby hints the dog may be belonging to the local minister as he saw a similar dog moving around his (Minister’s) bungalow. On getting this clue, the officer starts beating the pickpocket for treating a respectable dog. The officer claims that the dog of a 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 can not keep such a poor dog, as he is known to have pointer-hunting dogs. On this dog is thrashed and the search continues for his owner to enable the pickpocket to claim compensation. The beating of the dog continues until a servant of the minister appears on the scene and at first refuses to recognize the dog but later identifies him as the minister’s brother’s dog who is visiting from Delhi. Here the dog is escorted back home with full official protocol.
Mohit Sharma played the role of a head cop with remarkable histrionics and he was equally reciprocated by Rohit Sharma as junior cop. Rahul Singh played the role of pickpocket whereas Gaurav Jamwal acted as Police chief.
Natrang has been endeavouring to create theatre based best classical and folk literature and today’s performance was yet another step in this direction.
Theatre Director Balwant Thakur said that Natrang is attempts to breaking convention by evolving new productions through a process of improvisation and new experimental. He said the Natrang encourages artists to explore all new possibilities in this innovative form of art which has immense possibilities to create wonders.
Visiting Director from Delhi Moazzam Ali, who was also present on the occasion, said that he is amazed to see a theatre group creating new play every week. As a theatre person he can visualize how much effort goes in creating a theatre production and Natrang is doing wonders, he said adding that the National institutions cannot afford to venture such committed projects. |
