Jammu, Oct 23: Natrang created a new record by staging five different plays in one day at five different places of J & K.
The first show was Anton Checkov’s ‘Girgit’ directed by Balwant Thakur at Hamama, Srinagar.
The second show was ‘Choona Hai Aasmaan’ written & directed by Balwant Thakur at Kupwara, Kashmir.
The third play was ‘Tsal Goom’ in Kashmiri written and directed by Munir Ahmad, staged at Kowoosa, Kashmir.
Fourth play was yet another Kashmiri Play ‘Do-Vout’ written & directed by Gulam Mohd. Bhat presented at Tilgam, Pattan, Baramula.
And despite staging four plays at different places, the group bravely continued its Sunday Theatre Series with the performance of Urdu comedy play ‘Intzaar’ at Natrang Studio Theatre.
The play has been written by Shadat Hassan Manto and was beautifully adapted and directed by Sumeet Sharma.
The new & contemporary elements added in the play sharpened its impact, The situational comedy was further enhanced which made laughter irresistible for the audience.
The play ‘Intzaar’ staged at Natrang studio opens in a very hilarious situation in which ‘Mantazar’ is waiting for his beloved to come to meet him in a much awaited date. ‘Mantzar’ is waiting for her very anxiously, to the extent that even half an hour is very difficult to spend.
He speaks with his own self and innovates different ways to pass the time calmly, he discusses the daily budget, music, literature etc. whatever he could think to divert his attention from the palpitation which he is feeling in the process of waiting, but nothing works. To make the situation even worse, some unwanted guests arrive which make his condition miserable.
Finally when the time of meeting comes and the girlfriend arrives, he falls unconscious because of overtiredness.
The girlfriend thinks he is unconcerned about the meeting and is sleeping, in the disgust, she leaves and the much awaited meeting turns to be a disaster which steered the comedy towards an irony.
Mohit Sharma as ‘Mantzar’ exhibited his talent as a versatile actor. He was equally supported by Sumeet Sharma as his Inner Self who displayed minute histrionics. Niharika Sharma as the ‘Girlfriend’ was also very impressive in her short but important appearance. Pawan Verma as Friend and Ankush Lakhnotra as Newspaper Vendor also contributed their part well in the success of the show. Lights were operated by Ankush Lakhnotra and sound was executed by Vipin Gupta who also did the presentations.
