Nepal\u2019s culture<\/a> but also shows its amalgamation with modernization.<\/p>\nSpeaking on similar lines is a play running at Battisputali\u2019s Shilpee Theater<\/em> since November 23, 2018. <\/em><\/p>\nPlaywright Surendra Berma wrote the realistic play about ordinary people\u2019s simple lifestyle.<\/p>\n
The play opens with the scene of an amateur theater group\u2019s rehearsal, where actor Kumar is directing an Indian classical drama \u2018Abhigyan Shakuntalam\u2019 with unusual characters.<\/p>\n
In a press statement by theater group Actor Studio, the story progresses to showcase the group\u2019s hunt for an actress.<\/p>\n
Character Kanak enters the scene to end Kumar and his group\u2019s quest for an actress. As Kanak and Kumar begin to enact play characters Dushyanta and Shakuntala, they relive their love story in real.<\/p>\n
Things take a strange turn when real-life Shakuntala, Kanak becomes pregnant. But as Dushyanta finds the lost ring in time to reunite with his muse, will Kumar find a fitting ring for Kanak?<\/p>\n
Book a ticket and grab a seat to watch this mystical play unfold!<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope to see Suraj as a good director through this drama,\u201d says Actors Studio\u2019s Artistic Director Anup Baral<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nBaral hopes that this engaging drama will add a unique flavor in Nepali theater aura and wished the team luck for the play.<\/p>\n
