Children of the city left the Bhopalites enthralled with their outstanding theatre performance. The children performed in two short plays that were staged on Monday at Shaheed Bhavan Auditorium.
The programme was organised by Gunjan Theatre Academy, Bhopal. Notably, a month long theatre workshop was organised for the children to enhance them in theatrical skills. To mark the conclusion of the workshop, the theatre academy organised the programme, Ghazal recitation programmes were also organised.
The first short play ‘Sach Ka Bol Bala’, showcased how the genuineness of a person can change his life and lead to a good path. Directed by Praveen Choubey the play was written by Giriraj Sharan Agarwal and conceptualised by RK Goyal. The running time of the play was 45 minutes.
Story of the play follows the lives of two thieves who rob the people by coning them. After spending much time as thieves and being hated by everyone, one of the thieves wants to transform himself into a truthful person. He tells his friend that he will only speak the truth from now onwards.
His friend tries to convince him but his partner never agrees. Once a police inspector gets hold of them, on asking about their profession, the truthful thief confess the fact. Inspector thinks he is joking, and asks them to stay at a fellow inspector’s home.
Next day all the possessions are lost and the blame falls on an innocent man. The thief again confesses the truth and being impressed by his truthfulness, the inspector gives another chance to live a better livelihood. Next play, ‘Tana Bana’ written by Asif Naqvi and directed by Sadarth Bharati was based on food chain and environment. Moreover the play gives an idea about the incoming of MNCs and ruining the lives of the people in disguise of opportunities.
Both the plays were enjoyed by the audience. The children received much appreciation for their performances.
