MigHT-I Theatre, which has been at the forefront of the multilingual Theatre movement in New Zealand, is invited to participate at the Southside Arts Festival 2012 in Manukau.
Originally written by the queen of suspense and mystery, Dame Agatha Christie, MigHT- I Theatre has adapted her early masterpiece ‘And then there were none’ (formerly ‘10 Little Indians’) into Hindi, aptly titled ‘Dus’. This murder mystery has been acclaimed as one of her best and has been adapted for several screen versions as well. In Hindi, the yesteryear movie ‘Gumnam’ was based on this play. However, for the first time, this is being staged on stage in Hindi. Adapted, written and directed by Prashant Belwalkar, this will be his third consecutive presentation at the Southside Arts Festival.
MigHT-I presented “EkRukaHuaFaisla (12 Angry Men), Jaal – the Trap (The Mousetrap) in the last two editions and were a hit from the word go with audiences. This genre has a massive fan following and is probably the most difficult to present. This play, especially, has been termed as the most difficult one to adapt on stage, a challenge which director Prashant Belwalkar relishes upon!
On the hills near Shimla, there is a lonely palace, which is known to be owned by an eccentric couple. 8 people have gathered for a party at this remote palace, where they are greeted by the butler and his wife. They are a curious bunch of people, each having a secret past. Soon, a mysterious voice on a CD indicts them of murder!
The first murder takes place shortly and is soon followed by other deaths. Strangely, all the deaths are related to a poem "DUS THE PURE SAINIK WO" (10 little soldiers) which is hanging on the mantelpiece above the fireplace. They soon realise that the murderer is one amongst them!
Don't miss this chilling thriller at Genesis Theatre on 3rd November 2012. The cast includes talented and popular artists like Kkuntal Trivedi, Jyotsna Trivedi, Rupal Parmar, Chirag Solanki, Sachin Purohit, Vinesh Kugaonkar, Kedar Divekar, Santanu Ghosh, Priya Diwan and Shailesh Prajapati.
Indian Weekender is the media sponsor for the event.
