Hua Kuch Yoon

Sajid Hasan’s play “Hua Kuch Yoon” is a satirical prelude to Sarhay 14 August Say Pehlay.

The play is a fictitious account of two love stories, present day and past, depicting the trials & tribulations of lovers caught up in the revolutionary web, between Pakistan and India. With a humorous angle, it looks at how the lives of people can sometimes be affected by two warring countries.

Presented by KopyKats Productions, the play continues until Mar 15 at the Arts Council.
