JAMMU, Mar 28: On day 2 of ongoing Natrang Theatre Festival, in connection with World Theatre Day, Hindi play ‘Rehearsal’ written by Lakshmi Kant Vaishnav and directed by Neeraj Kant was staged here today.
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 remains immature. Basic elements required for 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 special traits like jealousy, gossip, egotism and lack of coordination.
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.
Finally the rehearsal which was shown in the play Rehearsal ended up to be a chaos leaving a stern message that we need to be disciplined and committed to create a meaningful art.
Artists who performed in the play were Kananpreet Kaur, Vansh Pandotra, Priya Kashyap, Payal Khanna, Vandana Thakur, Sana Devi, Mehak Chib and Palshin Dutta.
Lights were operated by Neeraj Kant, presentations were done by Kushal Bhat and the show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen.
