This play was staged at LTG Auditorium on last Sunday. Because the internet has a way of forgetting and these folks were unforgettable, let me first put the cast and crew here.
Aryan Madhok and his team directed this superb adaptation of the Manav Kaul original and breathed new life into it.
Shreshth as Salim and Divyakant as Raju clearly stood out. Uday as Pappu did very well too.
While the acting was superb, the production quality was also remarkable. The lights (unfortunately, the name of the person on the lights was not shared with the audience) usually play a big role in the experience of a play, but in this case, they were even more so than usual.
The live music on the stage added to the entire experience. The singing and Garv on Tabla was amazing.
The show ended to a resounding applause. It was great fun to be there, and I wish there were more shows of this play. This does deserve to be staged again and again.
If you catch members of this team performing anywhere, I would recommend them very highly.
The music and choreo deserve special mention too, especially the dances by Ishan and Shreshth.
Viewed from left, Meenakshi is the girl in the checkered skirt, to her right (in red shirt with a white vest) is Salim, next to them (green shirt) is the narrator, Red T shirt is Raju, who nailed the Haryanvi accent. These performers lit up the play.
