JAMMU, Jan 31: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Rehearsal’ written by Lakshmi Kant Vaishnav and directed by Neeraj Kant.
In the play, the writer has very satirically mocked people who want to do something without proper knowledge and also without possessing the basic eligibilities in the field.
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 but their approach is not good enough and is too much immature.
The basic ingredients which are require to mount a professional theatre production like discipline, punctuality, team spirit, self-motivation, neutrality of mind etc were all missing in those ladies and they were instead full of 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 so they sought pampered treatment.
Finally the rehearsal which was shown in the play ended up in chaos leaving a stern message that we need to be disciplined and committed to create a meaningful work of art.
Actors who performed in the play were Kananpreet Kaur, Lovely Sharma, Asma Gul, Aarti Devi, Kushal Bhat, Diksha Pandita and Riya Sharma.
Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant whereas the sound was rendered by Brijesh Avtaar Sharma.
The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
