Ranga Shankara
is set to make a memorable January for theatre goers in the city. Come January 16, theatre lovers would be able to enjoy Motley groups 'Ismat Apa Ke Naam' which would have noted actors
Naseeruddin Shah,
Ratna Pathak Shah
, Heeba Shah celebrating progressive ideology of
renowned writer Ismat Chughtai
.
The actors would revisit three Urdu stories by the famed and much loved, not to say, controversial writer, Ismat Chughtai (1915-1999) set in middle-class Muslim homes in small-town UP, a milieu which both Ismat Chughtai and the director of this production, both belong. A minimal set and mostly imaginary props are used to communicate the stories to the audience exactly as written and hopefully give them the experience of having seen, heard, and read the stories, simultaneously. The play has been supported by the Goethe-Institute/ Max Mueller Bhavan.
