JAMMU, Nov 9: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Girgit’ directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play ‘Girgit’ revolves around a Dog and a corrupt Police Officer, who changes colours like a chameleon, every time as the situation changes.
The stage action starts when a dog bites a pickpocket who approaches cops for help to roundup dog’s owner but all in-vain. A passerby hints that the dog belongs to the local Minister. 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 was 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 search continues for the owner of the dog to enable the pickpocket claim compensation. The beating of dog continued until a servant of the minister appears on the scene. At first he refuses to recognize the dog but later on identified 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 performed in the play were Mihir Gujral, Aadesh Dhar, Kananpreet Kaur, Vishal Sharma, Kushal Bhat, Kartik Kumar, Pawan Verma, Suhani Sareen, Tanisha and Supria Gorka.
