With the seasons changing we think it’s time to swap up your usual plans with something out of the box and witness a theatrical gem this weekend! Naya Theatre's captivating rendition of Agra Bazaar will allow you to immerse yourself in the magic of live performances and theatre.
This play is directed by the legendary Habib Tanvir, one of the most popular Indian Urdu, and Hindi playwrights, a theatre director, poet, and actor. Agra Bazaar promises an unforgettable journey through the stories, delving deep into the heart of a city's troubles during recessionary times —vividly portraying the lives of the common man — from the Kakdiwala to the Tarboozwala —each who faces their own trials amidst the lively marketplace.
As heavy and reality-stricken as it sounds, what we love about the play is how gracefully Agra Bazaar gracefully weaves together the stories of characters that’ll have you laughing, crying, and maybe even doing a little soul-searching. Tanvir Saab’s genius is on full display as he brings these characters to life, showing us the highs, lows, and everything else in a vibrant marketplace. All we can say now is that it's the kind of story that sticks with you long after the final curtain falls.
So, hit up your gang, snag those tickets, and get ready for a weekend that'll have you talking about it for weeks to come!
