Khaamosh Adalat Jari Hai.

5-Feb-2019 ‘Rang Mastaaney Group’ Presented a play ‘Khaamosh Adalat Jari Hai’ Directed by Mr. Sartaj Narain Mathur at Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur.

‘Shantata! Court Chalu Aahe’ (Khaamosh Adalat Jari Hai) is a Marathi play written by playwright Vijay Tendulkar and first performed in 1967, the play was written in 1963. The play was based on a 1956 novel, Die Panne (Traps) by Swiss playwright Friedrich Dürrenmatt. The play has since been translated into 16 languages in India and abroad.

Play is about a group of teachers plan to stage a play in a village. When a cast-member does not show up, a local stagehand is asked to replace him. An improvised, free-flowing 'rehearsal' is arranged and a mock trial is staged to make the novice understand court procedures. A (mock) charge of infanticide is leveled against Miss Benare, another cast-member. All of a sudden, the pretend-play turns into an accusatory game when it emerges from the trial that Miss Benare is carrying an out-of-wedlock child from her failed illicit relationship with Professor Damle, the missing cast-member.
