The Auditorium I of the Arts Council of Pakistan was roaring with laughter. No doubt, it was a play by none other but the legendary Pakistani satirist late Kamal Ahmad Rizvi which went on stage on the fifth day of the Pakistan Theatre Festival being held at the Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi.
The comedy Urdu play Biwi Ho Toh Apni by Kamal Ahmed Rizvi was directed by Ayesha Hasan.
Hasan Raza, Farhan Alam, Zulfiqar Ghori, Anushka Khalid, Rabya Rizwan, Naveed and Khizr Ansari showed excellent acting in the drama.
The story revolves around a middle-aged man named Saleem who finally decides to take the plunge and get married, albeit to a girl less than half his age, he seems to be the man who has it all.
As all farce comedies go, all hell breaks loose just as Saleem is on the brink of utter marital bliss. The chaos ensues as Saleem and his wife Amna try to navigate their new life along with their house help Shakoor.
