Lahuri Bhainsi’, a play about the lives, struggles, dreams and social realities of Nepali rural society, is set to be staged at Mandala Theatre, Thapa Gaun, from June 5 to 21. It is a joint presentation by A J Bob Studio and Crook Entertainment. Based on the story of Ramesh Bikal, this play has been adapted by Sanyog Guragain and directed by Anup Neupane. Reflecting the deep social and economic structure of Nepali rural society, ‘Lahuri Bhainsi’ follows the small family of Lukhure, Ghainti, and Pode as they dream of improving their lives by buying a buffalo. But that dream gets trapped in the cycle of society’s power structure, class division and exploitation. The play has portrayed the dominance of the character ‘Dwarebaa’, along with the plight of poor farmers, the burden of debt, and the social mentality of the village.
