 Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 10: ‘The Methods’, a dramatic presentation based on a story of Anton Chekhov and directed by talented National School of Drama alumni, Bhasha Sumbli and Sunil Soni was staged today at Natrang Studio Theatre, Jammu. It was a visual treat to watch the presentation embellished with creative set design, rich light design and soulful music.
Vivekanand Rai, Director Tourism, Jammu was the chief guest at the occasion who appreciated Natrang’s creative endeavours in rejuvenating the cultural scenario of the region with highly professional work. He also complemented the director and actors of today’s performance for their brilliant performance. Director Natrang, Balwant Thakur informed that Natrang has planned to offer a series of training opportunities to the youth and children by expert resource persons for their overall growth. He also appreciated the workshop directors for mounting a highly professional and impressive presentation. The play ‘The Methods’ bares the philosophy and manoeuvres of an expert bachelor seducer, Peter, who demonstrates his foolproof methods to influence the young wife of his close friend, Nikolaich, comparatively a simpleton. Peter showers adulations on latter’s wife, Irena, in an attempt to secure her, who later gives in but retaining her sobriety and unbending dignity. It is a series of scenes that, give us a strong sense of Chekhov’s take on the human condition. The story exposes the ridiculous, tender, outlandish, ludicrous, innocent, and weird frailties of human beings. |
