Anup Soni, Vinay Jain and Monisha Singh Katial In Stage Play My Wife’s 8thVachan
India’s leading theatre group The Films and Theatre Society is all set to bring a new Hindi Comedy play “My Wife’s 8th Vachan” for the audience of Delhi. Atul Satya Koushik is widely known for creating a brand value in grand histological productions, musicals, social satires and My Wife’s 8th Vachan, is his first attempt in the genre of comedy and family entertainment of this scale.
My Wife’s 8th Vachan is an eighty-five-minute comedy and family play inspired from marriages. The play is about the mystery called "marriage" that has deepened with each effort of solving it. This play, at most, is another ambitious (read failed) attempt at doing so.
Madhur and Mahak are no different from any married couple who have been co-existing in each other’s lives for fifteen years and have been quarrelling for reasons unknown. So much so, that their little daughter has decided to study in a boarding school to avoid the daily battles her parents invent out of nowhere. Mahak wants to address the elephant in the room and talk to Madhur about the state of their marriage. She is prepared, even if some difficult decisions need to be made. A reluctant Madhur finds himself in the most uncanny episode of his life, when the eighth promise that Mahak made at the time of their marriage comes back to haunt her. What is that eight promise? Who did she make it to? Is this the much-awaited break from their dilapidated marriage that they both needed? Come and discover in this laugh-a-minute comedy inspired by, your marriage.
Famous Film, TV and Theatre actors Anup Soni, Vinay Jain and debutant Monisha Singh Katial take the audience through this episode of comedy drama. The production bears the stamp of a typical Atul Satya Koushik production i.e. lavish sets, costumes, music and a spectacular wholesome experience for the audience.
Writer, Designer & Director Atul Satya Koushik says, “Each script comes with its own challenges and opportunities. I have done comedies in past but more as experimental and workshop productions. This one is my first serious attempt at comedy at this scale. You see, comedy is difficult. You never know what the audience will find funny and what not. All we can do as makers of theatre, is to be honest with our content and leave it to the audience to tell us if it struck a chord with them. After an unprecedented response from Mumbai audience in the Mumbai premiere, I’m hopeful my Delhi audience is going to love this play.”
