Mail News Service

Jamshedpur, June 2: Team Geeta Theatre is gradually making its way into public reckoning with Nukkad Natak (street corner plays) performances in and around the city, especially in semi urban belts and away places like Ranchi. On this occasion, the Geeta Theatre unit was invited to perform a Bengali Nukkad Natak, ‘Aami Shab Jaani’ (I know everything) penned by Sanjay Dutta and directed by Geeta Kumari at Tata Metaliks Co in Kharagpur, West Bengal. The play was organized under the aegis of social organization, Swachhta Pukarey.

Environment protection, road and workplace safety and discarding the use of plastic and other toxic substances were discussed in these scenes.

The opening scene in ‘Aami Shab Jaani’ showed a tree beginning mankind to be kind to the environment and not felling trees and plants as these played major roles in water and soil conservation and accounted for a clean and healthy atmosphere.

The second scene dwelt on adopting safety measures on the streets, workplace and home. This factor enunciated the fact that even a minor negligence in the factory floor or on the road could snatch away happiness of a home.

Finally, the bane of present day life and living has been addiction to drugs apart from tobacco and alcohol. The increased use of plastic in spite of the best efforts of curbing this ultimate environment and health hazard has been adding to the miseries of life in the forms of various illnesses and death. The narrator, played by Prem Dixit, sums up the presentation with an urging to the huge audience to abstain from ruinous hazards of life like addiction and carelessness and be more considerate towards caring for the environment. The performing artistes including Sameer Nandan, Riya Sandil, Manish Sahu, Ranjan, Sneha Kumari and Rahul Das put in credible performances as the loud cheer at the end of the performances proved.
