Topi ki dastaan will be staged in Hyderabad
The HinduTo celebrate their tenth anniversary, Delhi-based Wings Cultural Society will be staging Topi ki dastaan, a play based on the popular Hindi novel Topi Shukla, in Hyderabad. The play written in the early 60s by Rahi Masoom Raza, has been adapted in a unique ‘Dastaan Narration Form.’ Twelve years of experience in theatre makes Tarique Hameed take an unconventional approach towards Topi Shukla. “Dastaan Narration Form or narrative form, draws inspiration from the Dastaangoi style, that originated in pre-Islamic Arabia in the 13th Century and was extremely popular among the elite and commoners of Delhi and Lucknow. After much planning and work, Tarique evolved a form and called it ‘Dastaan narration form’ for the lack of a better name on the format he chose to stage.
