Saadhay 14 August is all set to begin
performances in Islamabad after successfully finishing 100 shows in Karachi.
The play, which has been written by the eminent Anwar Maqsood and directed by
Daawar Mehmood, was able to gather audiences from all walks of life, and
individuals of all ages and genders. It drew packed houses from the first
performance until the very last.
The famous play will be performed
for the first time in Islamabad on January 7, 2023. The play, Saadhay 14 August
which features some of the most well-known national figures from both the past
and present, is a part of the trilogical series that was first staged as Pawnay
14 August, ten years ago. The series' final chapter, Saadhay 14 August
commemorates its conclusion. The play's legendary writer, Anwar Maqsood states
"This series is really close to my heart and was made while keeping something
positive while also considering the current plight of the nation. We expect
that Saadhay 14 August will receive the same level of support in Islamabad as
it has in Karachi."
According to M. Ahmed Shah,
President - Arts Council of Pakistan, "Anwar Maqsood has actually brought
theatre back to Pakistan, and when it is his screenplay, we are sure it will be
adored and admired by the public and would draw huge crowds to the
theatre."
When questioned about his
expectations for Islamabad, director Daawar Mehmood said: "Like Karachi,
we hope to exceed the expectations of the crowd in Islamabad. The play has all
the necessary ingredients for a successful theatrical presentation, including a
superb script written by none other than Anwar Maqsood, outstanding acting,
scenes and sets that were carefully built with attention to detail of each
region being portrayed."
From January 7th till February 7th
2023, the team will start performances in Islamabad. The play Saadhay 14 August
is the perfect example of how a serious issue can be handled in a
light-hearted, entertaining, and humorous manner while still capturing the
audience's attention.
