JAMMU, Dec 15: Natrang today presented a new play "Yeh Meri Wife Hai" as part of its popular weekly theatre series "Sunday Theatre" at Natrang Studio Theatre, Jammu. The play, written by Azra Choudhary and Pankaj Sharma, was also directed and performed by Pankaj Sharma, who showcased his acting prowess by skillfully enacting multiple roles as the sole performer. Pankaj Sharma is one of the senior actors of Natrang who has dedicated over 35 years to the service of theatre. Known for brilliant comedy performances in the plays like Ghumayee, Kanjoos, Bagia Bancha Ram Ki and Saiyan Bhaye Kotwal, Pankaj always mesmerises audiences with his outstanding histrionics.
Presented in Hindustani, the play compellingly highlights the shifting paradigms of husband-wife relationships, transitioning from early affectionate years to the challenges and bitterness that arise due to family responsibilities, financial pressures, and changing priorities.
The storyline focuses on Som Nath, a middle-class man, and his wife as they navigate the trials of married life. Initially filled with joy, affection, and companionship, their relationship begins to deteriorate with the increasing pressures of raising children and managing daily routines. Misunderstandings and conflicts gradually consume their bond, and years are wasted in blame and regret. However, with time and after their children settle in life, the couple finally reconciles and rediscovers happiness, realizing the importance of mutual understanding and shared responsibilities.
The play draws inspiration from Rolin Foreman's "A Play of Fools" and creatively reimagines the themes of love, struggle, and rediscovery in relationships. Pankaj Sharma's solo performance brought depth and emotion to the narrative, allowing the audience to connect with the universal challenges and triumphs of married life. His powerful portrayal of multiple characters kept the viewers engaged while evoking introspection on the complexities of human relationships.
The play was supported by Neeraj Kant, who executed the lighting design with precision, enhancing the emotional and dramatic tone of the performance. The show was efficiently coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
Natrang's Sunday Theatre series continues its legacy of presenting thought-provoking and engaging performances that reflect societal themes and human emotions. By providing a platform for artists to showcase their creativity and talent, Natrang reinforces its commitment to promoting meaningful theatre and cultural enrichment in the region.
The play "Yeh Meri Wife Hai" captivated the audience with its relatable narrative and heartfelt message, leaving a lasting impact.
