The culture and tradition of lucknow city was beautifully staged at Shaheed Bhavan Auditorium on Wednesday.
Two short plays based on the stories by Amritlal Nagar were performed by the artists of Samantar Theatre Troupe. The plays marked the conclusion of their theatre workshop 2017. The plays were directed by Dhruv Kumar Tamta.
Plays Ek Dil Hazar Dastaan and Moti Ki Saat Chhalniya were wondrously performed on stage leaving the audience mesmerized.
The show began with the play ‘Ek Dil Hazaar Dastaan’. Written by Amritlal Nagar, the play expresses the beautiful relationship called ‘friendship’. The story narrates about two friends Nawab Sahab and Mirza.
It is Eid and there is a mood of festivity in lucknow. Nawab Sahab is partying with his friends. During the party, Nawab Sahab sees beautiful stole and there he sees extremely beautiful hands.
He fell for the girl and tells Mirza about her. Mirza promises to find that girl for his friend. Once Mirza was at his home’s terrace and sees the stole Nawab Sahab told him about. He realizes that the girl is none other than his wife. For the sake of friendship Mirza divorce his wife and what follows is an emotional twist.
later, the play Moti Ki Satth Chalniya was staged. This play focuses on the orthodox behaviour of society. It dosent allow a hindu and muslim to fall in love with each other.
Nigar and Surendra MBBS students fell for each other. But, both the families are against their relationship. Rebelling against the orthodox mentality, Nigar and Surendra print their wedding cards and send invites to their family and friends. What happened next is an emotional saga of love.
Both the plays were brilliantly staged and were appreciated by the audience.
