A play which is a tribute to women and their dreams Apne Hi Putle was performed here on Thursday at Antarang Hall, Bharat Bhavan. The play deals with a really serious issue of women insecurities and position of her in society.
Written by Yogesh Tripathi, the play was directed by Vibha Shrivastava. It was presented by the artists of Ekrang Socio Cultural troupe.
The play is a story of a young boy who is about to get married. The girl is rich and the father of this girl always makes the boy realize that he can never match their status. But, the wedding has to happen.
But what destiny had in store for them was an entirely different story. When the boy gets married a rich girl, he started to belive that he has been sold in the name of money and status. So he plans to take the revenge from his father in law and wife.
Believing this as the truth he fixed his sister-in-law’s wedding to a greedy man who also had a criminal background. Now this criminal treats his wife really brutally.
He tortures her which had no extent. He asks for more and more dowry and when his wife denies, he abuses her. Upset with her life and troubled with her husband’s tortures, she committed suicide. This puts a deep scar on boy’s soul.
The boy lives with the guilt all his life. With various twists and turns the play narrates the story of different characters with different perspective.
At the end, the writer leaves it to the audience to decide the fate of the characters.
The play was beautifully performed leaving an impact over the audience.
