The specially designed lights on the stage created mysterious and mystic environment where the performers went all out to take the advantage of. The versatility of rendering expressions is the core potential of Sania Saeed that was at high node. The spellbound audience applauded every other moment to appreciate their favourite artiste especially flown from Karachi to take part in the National Theatre Festival.
PNCA Senior Consultant Munir Ahmed taking about the rare performance by Sania Saeed said, “Letter-writing was the only source of communication some decades back through which the legendary writers as well as the common people used to explore the intensity of their relationship especially the letters written by the lovers and poet had been a literary asset.
These letters not only show the literary diction and creative flair but also educate and amuse the common readers. These letters are also reflective of the socio-political situation of era when they were written.
Unfortunate we would not have personal reflections in the form of letters for the coming generation. Our ignorance would lead to elimination of letter-writing from our lives and our society.
Sania Saeed undoubtedly a versatile actress who was groomed through theatrical expressions for the last three decades. She knows as how to use different parts of the stage, and play around under the specially designed spot lights."
Rabia Amin, an audience, said letter to some extent is a very reliable way of understanding ones real love and sincerity towards literature and for this fact many literary persons shows interest in form of literature. Performance based on the literary letters is a rare opportunity to watch, and the artiste Sania did justice to the literary pieces.
