A mix of humour at theatre fest
Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Three Arts Club, one of the oldest theatre groups in Delhi, is hosting a three-day theatre festival at Shri Ram Centre here beginning Friday.

The “Summer Drama Festival-2010” has been conceptualised to showcase the talent of amateur theatre artistes. It will host a comedy play, “Dhong”, a satire with classic elements like mistaken identity, avaricious people and a complex love plot.

On Saturday, children's play “Ek Tha Budha” will be staged. The one-act play is a story of a lazy old man who is granted wishes by three fairies. The same day, another one-act play “Paanch Lakh” will be staged. It offers a humorous take on how beliefs and unconscious wants make us believe in irrational ideas.

“Aparichit” has been inspired by Albert Camus' cult literary work “The Stranger”. It portrays a man who does not conform to social norms.
