Lucknow: A play 'Daddy' commemorating the birth centenary of Darpan founder Prof Satyamurthy was staged at UP Sangeet Natak Akademi (UPSNA) on Friday.
An adaptation of
Florian Zeller
's French masterpiece 'Le Pere', the play has been adapted and directed by veteran dramatist Suryamohan Kulshreshtha. It features acclaimed actor
Anil Rastogi
in the lead role.
"This collaboration with Rastogi was long overdue, I was searching for a script that would challenge both his acting prowess and my directorial skills," said Kulshreshtha.
The narrative centers around a father suffering from dementia and his daughter, exploring their complex relationship. The story delicately balances the daughter's personal aspirations with her responsibilities toward her ailing father. Through its powerful storytelling, the play demonstrates how memory limitations affect the understanding of the world and relationships.
The cast also included Shalini Vijay, Ajay Sharma, Puja Singh, Ankita Dixit, Abhishek Singh, Vipin Pratap Rai and Abhishek Pal.
Theatre lovers can catch public performances of 'Daddy' on Saturday at 7.30pm at UPSNA.
