JAMMU, Sept 14: Natrang featured ‘Rehearsal’, a play in Hindi written by Lakshmi Kant Vaishnav and directed by Neeraj Kant today at Natrang Studio Theatre Kachi Chawni in its weekly Theatre Series.
In the play the writer has very satirically mocked on the people who want to do something without its proper knowledge and also without possessing the basic eligibilities of 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 too much immature. The basic ingredients which are required to mount a professional theatre production like discipline, punctuality, team spirit, self-motivation, neutrality of the mind etc were all 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 where 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 resultantly they seek pampered treatment.
Natrang’s artists, who acted in the play, included Kritika Singh Bhau, Namrata Chib, Juhi Singh, Satvika Gandotra, Deepshikha Sharma, Agam Kaur and Pankaj Verma. Lights were designed and operated by Neeraj Kant. Mohd Yaseen rendered the music. The show was coordinated by Sumeet Sharma who also did the presentations.
