JAMMU, July 2: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Rehearsal’ written by Lakshmi Kant Vaishnav and directed by Neeraj Kant.
The play ‘Rehearsal’ very interestingly portrays the rehearsal scenario of a play where the cast is all women. Though they (kitty-mates) want to present a good show, their approach is not good enough and remained very immature.
Basic ingredients required to mount a professional theatre production like discipline, punctuality, team spirit, self-motivation, neutrality of mind etc were all missing in these ladies and they were instead full of traits like jealousy, gossip, lack of coordination and egotism.
The rehearsal becomes a free for all situation wherein everyone reveals her mind in a dramatic manner. Though there is a director also but because of her own limitations and lack of mettle, she is not able to control the team.
Where these ladies were required to act with compassion towards their fellow artists, they had their own whims and fancies, few of them even had proud in their mind as their husbands are at higher posts and resultantly they seek pampered treatment.
Finally the rehearsal which was shown in the play ended up to be a chaos leaving a stern message that we need to be disciplined and committed to create a meaningful work of art.
Young champs who performed in the play were Vrinda Gujral, Manvi Bhushan, Saanchi Dutta, Saanvi Anand, Mehak Chib, Reet Sethi, Gun Sethi, Shranaya Mahajan and Prial Gupta.
Lights of the play were operated by Neeraj Kant, presentations were done by Mahikshit Singh and the show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
