Through a series of outrageous circumstances involving deception, mistaken identity, and social critique, the play unfolds with themes as relevant today as in Moli\u00e8re\u2019s time\u2014touching on domestic violence, access to education, and socio-economic divides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis year, we chose comedy as a political act,\u201d and, \u201cIn today\u2019s world, the comic is often political and the political, deeply comic. Moli\u00e8re&#8217;s work continues to mirror the hypocrisies of modern society, making it ideal for a student-led performance that is both engaging and thought-provoking\u201d, said Ankur Bashar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backed by a talented ensemble of students, the play featured Samarth Singh Thakur, Abhijit Nair, Dakksh Parekh, Rajat Sharma, Dibansee Rana, Sunidhi Deo, Lakshmi Vasundhara Mamidi, and many more in lively roles. The musical direction was helmed by Abhijit Nair and Lakshmi Vasundhara, with original compositions performed live by student musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creative team included Sunidhi Deo and Ankur Bashar for set design, Ujjwal Kumar on lights, and Khushi Maheshwari as choreographer. The production was managed by Prashant Kumar, with costumes and murals by Shibani.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chandigarh, April 26 Shoolini University\u2019s vibrant theatre wing, Shoolini Creative Studio, captivated audiences with its latest production Naatak Paracetamol\u2014an adaptation of Moli\u00e8re\u2019s iconic comedy &#8211; The Doctor in Spite of Himself.\u00a0 The play was staged at the Tagore Theatre, here today.
