The students of Madhya Pradesh School of Drama (MPSD) presented a wonderful performance of stories by Harishankar Parsai marking the third day of theatre festival.
Directed by Devendra Raj Ankur, the play was presented by the students of batch 2018-19. The play was a beautifully collage of three stories by Parsai ‘Premiyon Ki Vapsi’, ‘Ghere Ke Bheetar’ and ‘Ek Film Katha’.
The play began with story Premiyon Ki Vapsi. The story is about a couple who fall n love with each other, but the society does not accept their relationship. The orthodox society forces them to break their relationship, but the lovers refuse. At last, the couple commit suicide just leaving the traces of their true love behind.
Through this story, Parsai tried to showcase the hatred and torture faced by two youngsters who love each other immensely.
Next story ‘Ghere Ke Bheetar’ was yet another eye opener for society. Based on the concept of domestic violence and extra marital affair, the story reveals the reality behind happily ever after. Vimla and Ramprasad are happily married until Vimla finds out that Ramprasad has extra marital affair. When she confronts him, Ramprasad beats her. When she writes to her brother then too Ramprasad beats her. But, Vimla accepts it and together they live in an unwanted violent relationship.
Last story, Ek Film Katha was a story of two youngsters Rakesh and Ranjana. Both belong to different backgrounds; Rakesh is elite and rich while Ranjana is poor girl. Both fell in love and decide to get married. But, Rakesh’s father denies their relationship. Meanwhile antagonist of the story enters and proposes a marriage alliance to Ranjana’s father in return of all the debts.
