JAMMU, Mar 18: Natraj Natya Kunj, Cultural Society staged Dogri adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play ‘Macbeth-The Crown of Blood’ in Bikaner Theatre Festival, Rajasthan.
Director of the play Abhishek Bharti said the play is the story of Macbeth who is a courageous Scottish general not naturally inclined to commit evil deeds, but kills the king against his better judgment and afterward stews in guilt and paranoia. Toward the end of the play he descends into a kind of frantic, boastful madness. The problem, the play suggests, is that once one decides to use violence to further one’s quest for power, it is difficult to stop.
Speaking on the occasion, president of the Theatre Group, Kumar A Bharti said it’s a matter of gratification for the Dogri language and theatre that Dogri play is performed in a national festival.
