Jammu, Nov 19: Natrang staged its highly acclaimed Dogri play ‘Suno Eh Kahani’ written and directed by Balwant Thakur on the inaugural day of famous Jhiri Mela, which was inaugurated by deputy chief minister, Tara Chand.
The highly innovative play kept the audience spellbound with its versatility and style of presentation.
Play is based on the story of a young girl ‘Guddi’ representing a major section of rural lower middle class adolescent young girls, who are forced into matrimony at a very tender age. Guddi is fully aware of the strains of early marriage, as it has taken its toll in untimely death of her mother. She wants to grow and get educated before she takes up the responsibility of married life. Her dreams are shattered, a 'suitable' groom is found and marriage date is fixed. While the marriage ceremonies are being performed, help comes in the form of intervention by legal authorities and decision of marriage is deferred for appropriate time. The play highlights the plight of young girls who are sacrificed at the altar of rotten, redundant customs of illiterate and ignorant sections of our society.
Dimple Sharma played the role of father whereas Juhi Singh played the role of young girl Guddi with full theatrical versatility.
The narrators of the play Mohit Sharma and Pankush Verma demonstrated their hold over the variety of characters. Rohit Verma as clownish groom generated repeated laughter through his comic acts.
