Ranga Shankara’s powerful play ‘Apne Ghar Jaisa’ is set for its 25th show
The HinduApne Ghar Jaisa, a play that opened at Ranga Shankara’s annual festival in 2022, is gearing up to perform its milestone 25th show on August 4, at the same venue. Adapted and directed by senior theatre maker Anmol Vellani, the Hindi play “creates an image of everyday bigotry and its potential to impoverish the self and tear apart the social fabric. “In the process, she enters a dark place within herself, constructs caricatures of people ‘not like us’, and destroys the very thing she most cherishes and wants to preserve.” Apne Ghar Jaisa is an adaptation of a play titled Oldenberg by English actor and writer Barry Bermange, that has been changed to the context of present time in India. But I said let’s do this.” At the age of 60, Padmavati performs the hour-long play without a break and says a clean lifestyle has been the secret of her energy.
