An engaging and well-enacted play

The play '

Taj Mahal Ka Tender

', recently staged at

Omkarnath Thakur

auditorium, Banaras Hindu University, was an engaging one. Directed by

Ritwik Shridhar Joshi

, the play was a culmination of a two-month long theatre workshop organised by a foundation in the city. An added interesting qawwali twist to the famed play, that has originally been written by

Ajay Shukla

, was appreciated by the audience.

A satire on the anomalies prevailing in the bureaucracy, the play had some modern elements and even some songs that added to its impact. Perfect comic timing by actors Devjeet Goswami, Sumilan Chatterjee, Abhinandan Upadhyaya, Aviral Mehrotra, among others, kept the audience entertained.
