Kath Gulab

Watched this play yesterday, as part of the ongoing
Rajasthan Sangeet Natya Akadmi Festival at
Jai Narain Vyas Town Hall, Jodhpur. It's based on a
novel by the same name by Mridula Jain Garg. I
couldn't grasp it completely, as the same actors were
constantly switching to different roles throughout the play.
And at any given moment, there were 2 to 3 activities
happening in parallel on the stage. So, overall a good exercise
for your brain. But I got the basic idea. Theme of the play
and its cast is listed in detail here, since Sambhav Arts Group,Delhi
had performed the same play almost 3 months ago at Panchkula as well.

There were many memorable moments in the play. For one, when
the protagonist changes her name from Seema to Aseema, since she
no longer wants herself to be confined to the boundaries decided by the society.

Parent advisory : Theme of the plays is highly adult and some
expletives and adult words are used quite often.
