FTII will mark World Theatre Day today with a solo performance of the Hindi adaptation of Stefan Zweigs short story A letter from an unknown woman
She is the one to gather the shreds of the illusory relationship between the romantic leads of the play. She is the embodiment of a sacrificial love and the also the personification of self absorbed dilettante pianist. When Asima Bhatt,a National School of Drama (NSD) alumni scripted the play Ek Anjaan Aurat Ka Khat she wanted to explore every shade of emotions and so came into being the play that after its first show in 2004 has toured many cities to display various expressions of an artiste.
The hour-long play will have Bhatt displaying an array of emotions as she one buy one she steps into the shoes of each and every character. An anguished husband,a dedicated lover,a self absorbed,ignorant person and the feeling of inextricable impasse as well as experience of numerous missed opportunities,all these are some of the emotions the characters go through in the play and in a solo performance only person performs all this, elaborates Bhatt.
