Shikaar successfully walks the fine line between real laughs and real fears
Shikaar, Patchworks Ensemble’s latest production, a rip-roaring comedy about five chudails, and a man on a mission.
When the single lamp in the corner of the stage flickered, before the cast of Shikaar appeared, a woman sitting in the second row inside Prithvi Theatre loudly gasped and said, “So scary”. She was right. After all, watching a young woman go home alone in a cab at night is a situation that often invites dread, and a question: will she be safe? Moments later, however, the audience cares not for her safety but of the driver’s — unbeknownst to him, he’s been driving three hungry chudails (loosely translated as witches in English) out on their fortnightly hunt. The poor chap is done for.
