JAMMU, Sept 3: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged play ‘Commission’ written by Saadat Hasan Manto and directed by Neeraj Kant.
This play showcases how a modern emperor living in the era of social media deals with his people and how he can easily escape from his responsibilities by forming Commissions after Commissions.
The play opens in the modern court room of a modern emperor along with his two head butlers. The emperor is a satirical being who doesn’t share a good relationship with his empress and is going through a bad phase in his love life.
Twist comes when a ‘Fariyadi’ comes to seek justice for his workers who were killed by the Sevikas of the empress, who were practicing archery in an open place.
The emperor promotes his head butlers to ministers and asks them to go through the matter and come up with a proper report.
After a two month long process, the newly appointed ministers comes up with a gigantic report of one lakh words and presents the whole story before the emperor. The emperor on listening about this massacre satirically boasts that he is a better emperor than Jahangir and asks his ministers to behead all the girls who were involved in the massacre, but before the culprits are executed, a Commission needs to be formed to deliver justice.
Artists who performed in the play were Palshin Dutta, Chirag Anand, Abhimanyu Choudhary, Chaitanya Shekhar, Sumit Bandaral and Sanket Bhagat.
Neeraj Kant executed lights whereas the music was scored by Mehak Singh. Sushant Singh Charak presented the show before the audience and the show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
