Theatre in Karachi

great to hear that we still have people who`d devote their time and energies to resuscitate a dying language but one that is the among the greatest of languages nonetheless

the urdu literature, the prose and especially the poetry are second to none.... and the need to keep urdu ``alive and kicking`` is paramount lest it suffers the same fate as Hindi (courtesy the speakers of the language themselves)

nice article... keep us updated

Re: # 10
thanks kaami...will do.i think they`ll be ready for their next performance in the later part of this summer so if your`e in the city of karachi try and catch them. nothing like seeing it first-hand!

Re: # 11

i`ll be in pakistan (lahore precisely, but karachi ain`t far) by the mid of august... hope that qualifies as the ``later part of summer``
by the way, is there any way i can get precise information on when exactly are they playing... then if not now

How refreshing to hear that real, proper, and relevat art is still appreciated in Pakistan (and that too, lo and behold in Urdu), long may it continue... Ameen!

Very nicely written article...

`` --but I want us to continue experimenting with different styles of theatre, DOING theatre for theaters sake. I love being on stage and want to get famous DOING what I love DOING but I would also like to DO more than just act, may be DO some writing for the group`s performance in the future or even production.``

What a pageant of writing!

Re: # 4
is that sarcasm or criticism, not quite sure?

what a refreshingly delightful beautifully written article -- was wondering all these years where the Urdu flowers gone -- after Krishn Chandr Ismet and Manto --

good to know they are blooming in a Karachi `warehouse` --

what a sweet name `Kla` for a Pakistani ensemble....bless you guys -- let`s hear more from you Zainub -- words flow from your pen like liquid gold....

How do you pronounce K`la? Is it kaala or kayla or bearing roots from kalakaar.

Re: # 2
