Love for Marathi plays hasn’t diminished at all, over the years. This has been possible, because of the patronage of established actors and audience equally. Many well known Marathi artistes, started their acting career with experimental plays. This can happen only in Marathi entertainment industry.

Talking about Marathi experimental theatre, a new play in this category, will hit the drama theatres very soon. ‘Veer Daudale Saatach‘ will be a play, directed by Pralhad Kudtarkar, who bagged best director (experimental) trophy, alongside best play, at a recent television awards function. Pralhad Kudtarkar, was an assistant director for a popular Aadesh Bandekar show ‘Home Minister’. He has to his credits Marathi serials, ‘Aambat Goad’, ‘Bhagyalaxmi’, ‘Aabhas Ha’,’ Lakshya’, ‘Ka Re Durava’ as a writer. But , his love for theatre, prompted him to stage Veer Daudle Saatch.

The play is about a Marathi school , deciding to be part of state inter-school dramatic competition and hand over the responsibility to school’s history teacher, who in turn decides to imbibe history through a drama and selects a historical play . Ironically, seven students who happen to be disinterested in history, get selected to act in it. And, what happens next, is all that the play is about.

Veer Daudale Saatach is produced under the banner Rudra Theatre by Sarika Naik and Pallavi Bhojne. Set to be designed by Ajay Pujare and light design will be by Amogh Phadke while background music is to be provided by Samihan.
