AS PART of the ongoing 11-day cultural festival ‘Natya andolan’, a play ‘Baad Ka Pani’ was staged at the Nagari Natak Mandali auditorium in Kabir Chaura area on Tuesday evening.
Conveying the message of social harmony and brotherhood, the play highlighted the story of a village in which the members of the upper caste community drove the members of the lower caste community outside the village to live on a mound.
But once the Narmada river was flooded and the entire village was submerged in water. Therefore, the members of the upper caste were forced to live on the same mound where the members of the lower caste were living. A sense of social harmony and brotherhood was developed among the members of both the castes.
Artistes of Setu staged the play in an impressive manner. Saleem Raja directed the play whereas Rakesh Vardhan, Payal Agrawal, Sumit Srivastava, Ritesh Srivastava, Kanhaiya Gupta, Mohd Akhtar, Reena Singh, Umesh Bhatia, Ayaz Khan and Suraj Singh played their character in an effective style.
