KARACHI: The Urdu adaptation of acclaimed American playwright Neil Simon’s superhit play, The Sunshine Boys, will be staged at the National Academy of Performing Arts (Napa) from next week. Budha Mar Gaya Kya, a laugh-a-minute comedy, has been translated and directed by Napa’s graduate, playwright, director and actress Samina Nazeer, and features Napa alumni Samhan Ghazi, Saad Faridi, Kashif Hussain, and Rachna Kirplani. The play will be staged from Nov 27 and continue its run till Dec 3. This was announced at a press conference by Napa CEO Junaid Zuberi on Thursday. The play director and key members of the cast were also present at the press conference. Mr Zuberi said that Napa focuses on being academy and that is why only the choicest of work is presented here. He said the Zia Mohyeddin Theater, where the play would be staged, was primarily a teaching space and though it is often used for public performances, the prime objective of the Napa facilities was to impart performing arts education. Play’s director Samina Nazir said she chose Neil Simon’s play because his settings were almost always urban, and people from big cities like Karachi could relate to such situations. The cast members also spoke on the occasion and discussed their roles in the play.
