Venue: Abhimanch, NSD
Based on the life and works of Sadat Hasan Manto – Dafa 292 evoked mixed emotions. Very well directed and executed by Anoop Trivedi and good performance by the whole team, this play added another dimension to Bharat Rang Mahotsav – COMEDY.
Humor is the predominant attribute of Manto’s work. “Teen Khamosh Auratein” had audience in splits. The first chatterbox woman was fantastic. She played a motormouth with elan. Other two women followed suit.
Another piece where we had two Mantos (and their wives) on two sides of the stage was cool and gimmicky.
The play touched social issues in parts without being preachy at all. The end of the play where all artists light candles made the stage look stunningly beautiful and moved the evening to a poignant climax.
