Rangadhaar’s organiser and theatreperson Rakesh Sethi informed that human beings are getting more prone to depression while space for mirth and joy is shrinking in one’s life. The theatre festival aims at encouraging laughter through these plays. The festival would commence on March 27 with Ashok Bulani’s comedy play ‘Saalgirah’.
