| Natrang stages Hindi play ‘Raktbeej’ | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 1: Natrang Jammu staged Shanker Shesh’s Hindi play ‘Raktbeej here today by Natrang at CSOI Auditorium, New Delhi. The play was directed by Rakesh Kumar Gupta who has been very active actor/director during his college days.
The play begins with a lively debate amongst the protagonists of the play on the theme of suicide. Does every suicide by an individual mean murder by the society due to the circumstances created by it?
The characters decide to leave this decision to the audience. They present two incidents to them in support of their argument.
The first incident involves a young clerk and his wife who have invited the Managing Director of the firm for cocktails in their house. The intention is to cultivate contacts with him to climb the corporate ladder.
The husband plans to use the wife to entrap the boss. The wife is initially hesitant to be a part of this scheme but becomes a willing party later. The complex situation arising out of these relationships culminate in suicide. The husband in the meanwhile has successfully climbed the corporate ladder and has no hesitation in even blackmailing the boss further.
The exploited become the exploiter. The second event narrated involves a senior scientist in a research institution who attempts to cultivate the Director for getting foreign trips and recognition in his research work.
He has deliberately included the name of the Director in his earlier research papers to please him and to use him to get fame and recognition.
He now plans to publish a major path-breaking research work independently and hopes for support from the Director.
