EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Aug 15:
‘Salvaton Mein Sanwad’ a play in Hindi by eminent playwright Mani Madhukar staged here today at Natrang Studio Theatre in the Natrang’s regular theatre event ‘Sunday Theatre’.
Directed by Neeraj Kant, the play focuses the decay of values in the younger generation. One of the boldest Hindi plays on illicit relations exposes immorality in a highly dramatic manner. The play was performed by versatile and experienced actors of Natrang.
Natrang Director Balwant Thakur complimented the team for taking up challenging and difficult themes.
The play “Salvaton Mein Sanwad” opens with an anxious father waiting to meet Neeta his daughter outside her hostel.
The warden of the hostel has informed him that she has gone to Pune for a debate competition.
Neeta’s close friend finding him alone draws him into a conversation, which slowly unfolds the other dark side of Neeta’s secret life, of which her father was totally unaware. He comes to know that intentionally Neeta has disappeared, as she was not interested to meet him. The father gets a shock when he comes to know that her daughter has not gone to Pune but staying back with her boyfriend. His shocking state reaches the climax when he comes to know that his daughter is aware of the bitter truth that she is not his daughter but of his grand father. This harsh reality was revealed to her by her mother before she died of TB. Realizing that he has been befooling himself all his life, blindly trusting, believing and obeying every command of his father, without questioning and now he accepted the same from his so-called daughter. In the end, in a tortured and suffocating state, he begs for some fresh air, crying, “Only air has a right on itself”. She replies sarcastically, “No! We the new generation have a right on the air.” The play concludes with this bitter note.
Today was a demonstration of versatility of acting by two senior artists of Natrang, Neeraj Kant and Renu Sharma who played the father and the daughter’s friend respectively. It was a demand of the script that such a bold theme could not have enliven with maturity, the way these experienced artists did. The lights were designed and executed by Mohit Sharma whereas the music was scored by Rohit Verma did the presentations and Rahul Singh coordinated the show.
