A light comedy-drama and satire on increasing cases of divorce in the society was beautifully staged on Monday. The play ‘Pati Patni aur Court’ was performed at Antarang Hall, Bharat Bhavan, leaving an impactful message for the audience present at the show.
Written and directed by Ashish Shrivastava, the play was performed beautifully by Chetna Cultural and Social Welfare Society, Bhopal. The play revolves around the messy relationship between a young couple. It highlights about various shades not only of their relationship, but also of their individual personalities.
While the couple tackles with different hardships and hurdles of their married life, a face of society is also shown to the audience. The judge of the court signifies the society and how the judge reacts to their divorce emphasized over the action that should be taken in such situations.
In a family court, a beautiful couple comes to the judge for divorce and in front of the same judge, they got married in the marriage court 1 year ago. The Judge feels very sad to see these husband and wife in the divorce court.
Due to not having sufficient reason for divorce, the Judge orders both husband and wife to stay together for one month (cooling-off period) and during this one month period the Judge tries to bring both husband and wife back to each other.
Director of the play Ashish Shrivastava said that through this play, we want to show that you can resolve your relationship with harmony because it is very easy to break the relationship but it is very difficult to maintain it.
The play was brilliantly performed by the artists. At some scenes, the audience laughed out loud and at some, they were left to think upon this serious issue.
