Theatre Mall’s latest joint-production, in collaboration with Aakar Theatre, Bed Number 99, has entered into the final week of its staging. Based on a short story, Sipahi ki Swasni by Mahesh Bikram Shah, the play brings forth issues related to mental health on stage. 

Speaking about the play, its director Ghanashyam Khadka, says, “While adapting a story that analyses the psyche of its characters, I have tried to borrow that motif on stage. The medium of words and drama differ from each other, but it’s up to the director to not let the feel of the original die, for which we have worked as hard as we can, with the use of music and certain dramatic techniques.” 

The play features actors Bikash Joshi, Shyam Khadka, Sushma Koirala, Renuka Karki and Sushila Laxmi Maharjan, in lead roles, lights operation by Rajendra, and score by Amul Shrestha. 

The play will run through February 11, everyday at 5 pm, at Theatre Mall, in Sundhara.
