Karachi: On thirteenth day of ongoing Pakistan Theatre Festival in Arts Council Karachi, Tehreek Niswan presented play ‘Insha ka Intezar’ in Urdu language, this play is adapted from Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot’, Theatre’s writer and director was Anwar Jaffrey while cast of drama included Naina Black, Haris Khan, Mujtaba Zaidi and Ayesha Alam. Anwar Jaffrey is one of Pakistan’s senior Theatre practitioners and human rights activists. Theatre ‘Insha ka Intezar’ clearly presents current situation of Pakistan and also shows what our country is gradually becoming, barren land where existence is burdensome, where people are successfully deprived of their rights. Karmo and Zulekha also constantly come back to their own existence and wonder if they need to apologise to their victims, both unaware of what they have done. With punishment they have to live and think of repentance but for what? A large number of fans attended play while appreciating powerful performances of actors.

Sheema Karmani expressed said that people all over world have promoted this play in their culture, Tehreek-e-Niswaan is 50-year-old group, we are happy Arts Council Karachi is doing festivals all over Pakistan due to which people get chance to show their art and youth are coming forward.
