Jammu, Nov 29:
On the second day of Natrang’s Four Day Theatre Festival an enthralling performance of ‘Bemaar’, a comedy play in Urdu written by Saadat Hasan Manto and adapted & directed by Sumeet Sharma was presented at Natrang Studio Theatre. The use of wit, humour and satire in the play was brilliantly re-lived by the actors. In the play ‘Beemar’, ‘Kumar’ is not feeling well even after taking the medicines prescribed by the doctor. As he wants to get well as early as possible, he becomes an opportune lab. Testing animal for everyone around him and all his acquaintances practice their skills of prescribing the best remedy on him. Inspite of having cough, he is suggested to eat sour things like tamarind etc. reason being, ‘diamond cuts diamond’. He is made to consume rotten vegetables and a lot of weird items. Even after doing variegated treatment, his condition deteriorates which frustrates him and he resolves to go for one single logical treatment. This play suggests in a very humorous manner that we should not be so unstable that we are carried away by anybody’s suggestions (relevant or irrelevant). The incidents in the play make us laugh on our own follies and thus creating a will for discreet thinking. Kanav Chopra as ‘Kumar’ acted his role very well, he was equally supported by Udit Sagar, Jatin Sharma, Ujwal Bandral, Sumit Raina, Deepali Sharma and Abhinav Sharma. Lights were designed and operated by Neeraj Kant and Sound was looked after by Brijesh Avtar Sharma. The show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen. The presentations were done by Vanshika Gupta.
