A play tonight revolves around how two actors put up a show and improvise without funds, sets and light

Natak Accha Hai, Zaroor Aana was written eight years ago. It is being staged in Mumbai after two years
Living through politically charged times can feel a lot like sitting on a never-ending Ferris Wheel. There’s adrenaline, exhaustion and uncertainty. It is this feeling and its political underpinnings that will be channeled into a play tonight through a cast of two actors at Aram Nagar’s Veda Factory.
Natak Accha Hai, Zaroor Dekhna is a piece presented by Rang Nirvan Theatre and directed by Rakesh Sharma that combines the scripted art form with improvisation. The plot revolves around two struggling artistes who run short of funds to stage a production. Then, when they manage to find an auditorium, their crew backs out after refusing to work for free. Thus, they have no lighting, set or music. But they do have an audience and must improvise. And a book written by a dejected poet comes in handy.
