The theatre is a mirror to the society that showcases a proper path to it, says renowned playwright and director Satish Mehta.
A programme ‘Nirantan Srijan Samvad’ was organised here on Friday at Swaraj Bhavan. The programme was organised by Sahitya Academy, Bhopal. During the prograame the noted playwrights of the city Rafi Shabbir and Sudeep Sohani recited their plays before the audience. Satich Mehta was present as the chief guest during the programme.
The programme began with the play reading by Rafi Shabbir. He read out his play ‘Jannat Gai Jehannum Mein’. In this play Rafi has highlighted the problems faced by women because of the society and religious beliefs. Also through this play Rafi tried to figure out that how through superstitious religious beliefs women are treated badly and their rights are taken away by the society. It also focused on the beliefs of the society towards prostitutes.
Then the programme was followed with the play reading by Sudeep Sohani. Sudeep Sohni read a solo play ‘Subhadra’ which describes the 13th day of Mahabharat in which Abhimanyu is killed. The programme was presided over by city-based noted theatre director Satish Mehta.
After recitation, expressing his feedback on it, Mehta says, “Both plays are very good and there is lack of such play in Hindi.”
“These are very serious plays and theatre needs such of plays. Such type of plays provides new direction in society and theatre put impact over audiences,” said Anand Sinha, director of Sahitya Academy.
