Staged on Sunday, Rabindranath Tagore's Kabuliwala drew in a strong audience of a thousand people
Little Mini's rendezvous with the Afghani Kabuliwala, Rehmat, came alive on stage on Sunday. The classic play by Rabindranath Tagore attracted a crowd of over 1000 people at the Balgandharva auditorium. They sat, rivetted and mesmerised by the subtlety of human relationships. "A few years ago, we saw the play in Mumbai. That's when I decided to recreate the magic for the Hindi theatre lovers in Pune," said Kimico Mehta, director of city-based Camelia Productions that brought the play to Pune.
This was an effort to expose the children of the city to the best of literature and theatre, said play director Ramesh Talwar. Talwar is also a member of Indian People's Theatre Association which had staged the play for the first time in Mumbai. In the play, Mini and Rehmat part only to meet again. The magic of the relationship was beautifully brought to life.
