The play will highlight the talent of young and emerging actors in a captivating story written by great short story writer Saadat Hasan Manto under the direction of Nirvaan Nadeem. Dramatic reading, an exciting concept in the world of performing arts, will also be part of the evening. The young talented students of Ajoka’s writing class will present readings of two short plays which they have written during the course headed by Ajoka Executive Director Shahid Nadeem.
