JAMMU, Mar 2: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Rehearsal’ written by Lakshmi Kant Vaishnav and directed by Neeraj Kant.
Play ‘Rehearsal’ 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 remains immature.
Basic ingredients required for a professional theatre production like discipline, punctuality, team spirit, self-motivation, neutrality of the mind etc were missing in these ladies and they were instead full of the traits like jealousy, gossip, lack of coordination and egotism.
The rehearsal becomes a free for all situation in which everyone reveals own mind in a dramatic manner. Though there is a director also but because of lack of mettle, she is unable to control the team.
Where these ladies were required to act with compassion towards their fellow artists, they had their own whims and fancies and few of them were proud as their husbands were at higher posts and they sought pampered treatment.
Finally the rehearsal 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.
Artists who performed in the play were Kananpreet Kaur, Kartik Kumar, Vandana Thakur, Supria Gorka, Priyal, Ashok Gupta, Mehak Chib and Palshin Dutta. Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant, presentations were done by Aryan Sharma and the show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
