Aucklanders to be trapped in a JAAL
After the stupendous success of “Mara Varno Varghodo” and “Ek Ruka Hua Faisla” MigHT-I Theatre is back with another fascinating production for the South Side Arts Festival . The South Side arts festival (formerly Manukau Arts festival) will be featuring a tribute to the queen of crime Dame Agatha Christie, in Hindi. Her longest running play in Broadway – THE MOUSTRAP is being adapted in HINDI as “JAAL – The Trap” and will hosted for the first time in New Zealand. This play has created records of sorts internationally and this is a rare chance to see its Hindi adaptation in Auckland. MigHT-I theatre is dedicating this play as a celebration of the 120th anniversary of Agatha Christie.
Known for her famous detective stories – Poirot and Ms Marple, Agatha Christie also wrote some fascinating stage plays which included Witness for the prosecution, And then there were none (or 10 little Indians) and The Mousetrap.
The Mousetrap was initially performed as a radio play in 1952 and was broadcast by the BBC with the title Three Blind Mice. The radio play had been commissioned in 1947 by Queen Mary, who was a Christie fan. The forty-five minute play was based on a short story on which Christie had been working; however, audience reaction was so positive that Christie went back to work on the script, elaborating on it, and with its first performance on October 6, 1952, The Mousetrap became a stage play. After a seven-week tour, the play opened in London at The Ambassadors Theatre on November 25, 1952. The play later transferred to St. Martin's Theatre in London on March 23, 1974 and has been running there ever since. The Mousetrap has broken several records for its continuous theatrical run since its opening, and it is estimated that more than four million people had seen the play by the time its twenty-five year anniversary was celebrated in 1977. After another twenty years of performances it is safe to speculate that an additional three to four million people have probably sat in the dark and tried to puzzle out the identity of the murderer. Performances of The Mousetrap continue to benefit from tourists who seek out the play both for its artistic merits and for the joy of being part of a theatrical tradition.
Jaal – Trap its Hindi adaptation, begins with the murder of a mysterious woman in Khandala. The action takes place in a guest house 130 kilometres from Mumbai, where a house full of suspects have gathered and where a second murder is about to be committed.
At the heart of any mystery lies the question of what is real and what is not. This is particularly true of JAAL – the Trap, which relies on disguise to confuse the audience. So don’t miss this chance to enjoy this crime thriller which will keep you on the edge of your seats. Never a dull moment the play will touch your heart and emotions at the same time. From a poignant moment to a spine chilling experience all in one go!
The play features some of the finest artist in Auckland. Jyotsna Kkuntal Trivedi has essayed varied roles in different production and is a crowd favourite. Kkuntal Trivedi has made a mark for himself for his versatility and this play will only enhance his reputation. Rupal Solanki had audiences in splits in the recent Gujarati production , brings in another power packed performance, while Jayashree Sonar is known to audiences in Auckland as a talented artist who has featured on radio, TV and films. A veteran of stage in India Shailesh Prajapati makes a come back to his favourite medium and Santanu Ghosh moves out from Bengali Theatre to thrill you in Hindi. Kedar Divekar is back after an exciting performance in Ek Ruka hua faisla and the surprise of the pack is Raghunath Pawar, who will be featuring in his maiden Hindi venture in Auckland. The play is adapted and directed by Prashant Belwalkar, who loves to take up challenges and has consistently delivered for MigHT-I Theatre, with fanstastic assistance from Lajja Prajapati, ayoungster to watch in future. A strong cast, backed by a fantastic script and a fabulous venue will surely make this Diwali a cracking one!
