Natsamrat Delivers a Riot of Laughter at LTG Auditorium
Natsamrat transformed the LTG Auditorium, Mandi House, New Delhi, into a vibrant space of laughter and theatrical joy with four engaging performances of two popular comedy plays on 26 January 2026. Directed with confidence and flair by Shyam Kumar, the evening stood out as a celebration of popular theatre, combining sharp humour, energetic performances, and relatable social themes that resonated strongly with the audience.
The programme opened with Anton Chekhov’s iconic one-act comedy The Proposal. What begins as a simple marriage proposal soon descends into a series of hilariously exaggerated arguments over land, pride, and even a pet dog. The production sparkled with impeccable comic timing, crisp dialogue delivery, and high-voltage performances. The actors handled Chekhov’s fast-paced exchanges with remarkable ease, ensuring sustained laughter and spontaneous applause throughout the performance.
The second presentation, Kallu Nai MBBS, brought a refreshing shift in tone with its rooted, desi humour and sharp rural satire. The play revolves around a drunken and oppressive barber whose wife decides to teach him a lesson in his own language. The narrative takes a comic turn when two servants searching for a doctor to cure their master’s mute daughter forcibly turn the barber into a ‘doctor’. Packed with situational comedy, witty dialogues, and colourful characters, the play not only entertained in abundance but also subtly commented on social hypocrisies, superstition, and domestic violence, making the humour both engaging and meaningful.
Performers Munmun, Rajan K. Batheja, Shivangi, Raman Kumar, Aman Kumar, Vansh Rathore, Shammi, and Ansh Rathore brought infectious energy to the stage, keeping the audience thoroughly engaged from beginning to end. Their spirited performances, supported by disciplined direction, ensured that every comic moment landed effectively.
The success of both productions was equally strengthened by the dedicated efforts of the backstage artists and technical team. Behind the scenes, Sunil Rathore, Suraj Singh, Pawan, Nisha, Poonam, Rani, Rohit Prasad, Rohit Prasad, and Poonam contributed significantly through efficient costume management, enhancing the visual authenticity of the performances. The musical atmosphere created by Vansh Rathore added rhythm and emotional texture to the scenes, further amplifying the overall stage impact.
With these back-to-back comic successes, Natsamrat once again reaffirmed its command over popular theatre. The productions proved that when lively performances, thoughtful direction, and strong backstage support come together, comedy theatre becomes not just entertainment, but a powerful and memorable theatrical experience.
