JAMMU, Feb 23: Hindi play ‘Girgit’ directed by Balwant Thakur featured today in Natrang’s weekly Theatre series ‘Sunday Theatre’ at Rani Park here.
The play revolves around a Dog and a corrupt Police Officer, who changes colours like a chameleon, every time as the situation changes irrespective of right or wrong.
The stage action starts when a dog bites a pickpocket who approaches the police officer to roundup the owner of the Dog. A passerby hints that the dog belongs to the local Minister as he saw a similar dog moving around his bungalow.
On getting his clue, the officer starts beating the pickpocket for teasing a respectable dog. The officer claims that a dog of minister cannot bite unless and until forced to do so. While he is beating the pickpocket, another man from the crowd observes that the local minister cannot keep such dog, as he is known to have pointer-hunting dogs only.
On this, the dog is thrashed and the search continues for his owner to enable the pickpocket to claim compensation. The beating of dog continues until a servant of the minister appears on the scene. At first he refuses to recognize the dog but later identifies him as the minister’s brother’s dog who has visited from Delhi. Here the dog is escorted back home with full official protocol.
Artists who acted in the play were Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Mihir Gujral, Meenakshi Bhagat, Mahikshit Singh, Sumit Raina, Sushant Singh, Rishav Sharma and Aarti Devi.
