Directed by Avneesh Mishra, this heartwarming play blends comedy and Nautanki music to narrate the story of a tailor-turned-theatre director whose debut venture is launched into chaos through a series of unforeseen events.
With an endearing human story at its heart, ‘The Great Raja Master Drama Company’ traces the story of a seasoned tailor whose family legacy spans over 60 years. With his tailoring shop facing a decline in business, Raja decides to transform it into a drama company, tapping into his long-buried creative side. Determined to make it work, he casts his tailor colleagues as actors, hoping they’ll pull off a professional performance.
The play unfolds in a series of hilarious mishaps as these “actors” struggle through rehearsals and the chaotic opening night of their first production. The musical comedy is heightened by the folk style of Nautanki, filling the stage with lively songs and dance. Through the fun and missteps, Raja Master realizes that staging a play isn’t as easy as it seems and that perhaps his true calling lies in tailoring.
Written by Dinesh Bharti, directed by Avneesh Mishra, and featuring music by Amod Bhatt, ‘The Great Raja Master Drama Company’ is a comedic journey of ambition, self-discovery, and the humorous clash between dreams and reality.
