Street Theatre Comments

I'm glad that somebody has written about Nukkad Natak or Street Play which do not require formal stage or theatre set-up. These are generally short in duration and carry a social message for the common folk. Thanks a lot. I can recall Safdar Hashmi, an artist, comrade, poet, writer, actor and activist, who was brutally attacked on Jan 1,1989 while enacting his play 'Halla Bol' near Delhi. He succumbed to his injuries and died a day later.
