Lucknow: A satirical play, ‘Ab bas bhi karo yaar,’ was staged at the Rai Umanath Bali Auditorium of Bhatkhande Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya on Tuesday. The play offers a scathing yet humorous critique of the rampant corruption in govt-run schools, drawing both applause and reflection from a packed audience. Opening with the morning prayer, the play quickly shifts focus to the rampant exploitation behind the closed doors of the staff room. The cast included Arjun Dev Bharti as the facilitator, Aditya Mishra as Rajesh, Manoj Verma as Shukla Ji, Gurudat Pandey as Mishra Ji, Basant Mishra as Yadav Ji, Mukul Chauhan as Saxena Ji, Anil Kumar as the Principal, Vishal Shrivastava as Birju, Anshika Saxena as Sheela Ji, Nirupma Rahul as Shivani Ji, and Sandeep Dev as the DIOS.
