Samooh Theatre celebrates its 30th foundation Day
Jammu, June 26, 2023: Samooh Theatre celebrated its 30th foundation Day with the performance of comedy play “CHITTA SINGH”, play inspired from Fritz Karnethe’s “The Refund”. The play has been written and Directed by Ravinder Sharma.
The play CHITTA SINGH is full of humour which deals with an extraordinarily ludicrous situation. The main character in the play is CHITTA SINGH. He is forty years old. He could not get any employment and wherever he went the people told him that he is fit for nothing and nothing worth while he has learnt when he was studying.
One day, somebody said, when you don’t know the silly thing what have you studied, you better go to your school and get your tuition fees back. CHITTA SINGH who was jobless and didn’t have any finance, this idea sounded something beneficial to him and so he went to the school where he studied once.
When he asks for the refund of his tuition fees, the principal is shocked because after eighteen years he has come to the school thinking that he has learnt nothing worthwhile and so he can get his tuition fees back. The principal is in a peculiar situation now and he calls for an urgent meeting with all other staff members. They decided to keep a re-examination for CHITTA SINGH and agreed that whatever answers he gives weather it is right or wrong they will prove him right. One by one each teacher questions him and justified his wrong answer to be correct one and they mark him excellent. Though CHITTA SINGH gives wrong answers and use abuse words to each teacher, they don’t show their anger because they have to prove him as an excellent student to chuck him out.
At least the mathematics master asks him a difficult question and an easy question. For the easy question he gives wrong answer and the master gets angry and says that he has failed on his examination so he should be given his tuition fees back. The master says that we have decided to give you your tuition fees back and now can you tell as the exact amount which we have to give you. CHITTA SINGH without knowing that he is going to fall into their trap gives them the list of exact amount. So the mathematics master says that was my difficult question to give the exact amount of your tuition fees for which you gave the right answer.
Now he is proved excellent in the entire subject and they throw him out without allowing him to say anything further. The play is full of humour and full of ludicrous situation. It also shows the ability of the teachers to manage the situation and how they tackle CHITTA SINGH without spoiling the reputation of their school.
The actor who performed in this play were Ravinder Sharma as Chitta Singh, Rajat Gupta as Principal, Rohit Bains as Receptionist, Amrita Kaur as Geography Teacher, Ajay Tamang as History Teacher, Vinay Sharma as Math’s Teacher, Avinash Lakhnotra as New Student.
