Picked up from one of the famous dramas by Shakespeare, Mahesh Dattani presented ‘Haman Ka Sapna’ before the theatre buffs of the city. The play is adopted from the drama ‘A midsummer’s night dream’.
The play was staged at Antarang Hall, Bharat Bhavan on Sunday. The play was performed by the students of Madhya Pradesh School of Drama (MPSD).
Thakur of Sundar Goun is all set to get married in just four days. This was the time when farmer Ajgar Singh comes with a request to Thakur. He tells Thakur that his daughter Hansa wants to marry a man called lasban who does not belong to their caste. But, Ajgar wants Hansa to get married to the boy he chooses i.e Dhamtar Singh.
Thakur calls Hansa and give her time of four days to think over choices she has been given. Whether she marries the boy his father has chosen for her or she will be boycotted. Meanwhile Hansa discovers that her best friend Hori is in love with Dhamtar Singh and so Hansa plans to flee with lasban. On the other hand a drama troupe prepares a nukkad natak for Thakur's wedding called 'Pinki aur pyarelal ki prem kahani'.
The actors are so bad in playing their roles that it became more of a comedy and guests kept on laughing.
