Muaawze by Bhishm Sahni

Directed by: Mrs R. Swynenberg

Play write Bhishma Sahni's play "Muaawze", (compensation) is a satire that depicts the greed of administrators, politcians and industrialists. The plot revolves around a controversy between the riot-stricken "bourgeois-class" and the corrupt administration. The play very aptly depicts the red-tapism, decay and rot that has set in society. On one hand there is a representative of the working class who makes a desperate attempt to put an end to the riots and on the other hand it is his own brother who seeks to amass weapons for the "protection" of his community. Dinu the rickshaw puller falls prey and gets caught in the web. Is Dinu able to get any compensation?

What happens to Dinu?.................
