What happens when the son realizes the sacrifices his father madeIJ The clear picture of generation gap was showcased through a Hindi play ‘Mere Baad’. The play was staged on Friday at Shaheed Bhavan Auditorium leaving the audience awestruck.
Directed by a known theatre director of the city Tariq Daad, the play was performed by Nyasa theatre troupe, Bhopal. Notably, the play marked the conclusion of a three day theatre festival ‘Rang-e-Shanti’.
The play portrayed the life of a middle class family. The father is the bread winner in the family and his wife is a homemaker. His son on the other hand is happy-go-lucky kind of a person and not at all cares what his father goes through.
Interestingly, the play was performed by only three artists on stage. The matured acting skills, their appearance, the simple backdrop and the perfect light design added mood to the scenes.
In this family each individual wants to live their life in their own way. Each individual has different aspirations, dreams and rules of life. The play focuses on the harsh realities of life where parents are left aloof and other does not even care about the other person.
