Lucknow: The city of Nawabs is all set to witness an electrifying dose of drama and laughter with the return of Repertwahr Weekends, an initiative by the Repertwahr Foundation in association with the Uttar Pradesh Cultural Department. This unique cultural drive aims to revive and promote theatre by bringing some of the finest stage performances to the heart of Lucknow, offering a perfect weekend escape for art and theatre lovers.
The upcoming edition promises an engaging mix of drama and comedy with two compelling plays directed by Imran Rasheed—Bade Miyan Deewane and Phir Se Shaadi—scheduled for April 12 and 13, respectively. Both performances will be staged at the Sangeet Natak Akademi, starting at 6:30 pm onwards.
April 12: Bade Miyan Deewane
This laugh riot centers on an eccentric and wealthy octogenarian who lives life king-size until he unexpectedly falls for a beautiful young woman from his neighborhood—who, as fate would have it, is also his son’s love interest. With its hilarious twists and emotional undertones, the play promises to keep the audience in splits while exploring quirky family dynamics.
April 13: Phir Se Shaadi
A heartwarming romantic comedy, Phir Se Shaadi follows the journey of a divorced Indian Muslim couple who, despite their past, realize they are still deeply in love. The play traces their struggles and comical efforts to rekindle their bond and remarry, delivering a charming blend of emotion, humor, and cultural nuance.
The Repertwahr Weekends initiative continues to act as a cultural catalyst, nurturing interest in theatre and performing arts among the residents of Lucknow. Through thought-provoking and entertaining productions, it seeks to transform ordinary weekends into enriching cultural experiences.
Tickets for both plays are available on BookMyShow. Don’t miss this chance to be part of Lucknow’s growing theatre movement!
