EARLY TIMES REPORTS
JAMMU,MAR 13: Surender Verma’s famous play ‘Neend Kyon Raat Bhar Nahi Aati’ was staged here at Natrang Studio Theatre in its weekly theatre series Sunday Theatre.The play was directed by Neeraj Kant. The highly intense script was relevantly presented by the director so as audience could receive even the implied meanings (Subtext) in addition to the direct dialogues.

The play opens in a room where engulfed by the darkness of the night, a lonely lady unable to enjoy a peaceful sleep finds a way to beat her melancholy by picking up the receiver and initiating telephonic conversations without caring to find out the dialed number.

Each time the person at the other end mistakes her to be someone else. To a young man, she could be the other women in his life. For a dejected girl, it could be her lover, ringing up at that hour of the night. Learning that she is frustrated, the lonely lady’s suggestion to the young lady is, “Give your lover a chance and enjoy the joys of life as they come.”

She however does not reveal her own painful feelings. While talking to a small child who is left home alone, she shares the emotive feelings of her separation from her husband and death of her only child. This is in response to the simple questions put up by the lonely child. To the amusement of the small child, the lady correctly answers all the puzzles put up by the little one. However, the child is unable to answer one puzzle, which disturbs the lady.

The lady expecting to find some respite to her sorrow through conversation is disappointed and as she peeps into people’s lives, she becomes ever more miserable. Unable to bear the deep depression, she ends her life. Her death invokes no more than a gossip with little understanding of the disturbed state of a young forlorn lady, which the writer wants to convey. Renu Sharma as ‘Yuvti’ was successful in presenting the deep pathos of her character, which indeed was very complex. She was equally supported by Neeraj Kant as ‘Husband’, Kritika Sharma as ‘Wife’, Gaurav Triyal as Purush, Niharika Sharma as Ladki. Little Sohi Sharma performed extremely well and impressed everybody in the audience. The lights were executed by Rahul Singh whereas Sunil Bhardwaj did the sound of the play. The presentations were done Gaurav Jamwal.
