Om Katare opens about his theatre group Yatri completing 42 years
A still from the play Kaalchakra
Way back on January 16, 1979, Yatri theatre presented their first play Ek Tha Gadha (There Was A Donkey) written by the veteran writer Sharad Joshi at the Prithvi theatre. A socio-political satire this play, in the live-musical format, explores the story as to how a Nawab does not want to lose his power (kursi) at any cost and commits a murder by killing an ordinary man, but attends his funeral and glorifies his death by naming the street with his name and providing help to his family and attracting applause from the people âJai Jai Nawabâ. This play made a great start to the career of Om Katare and his Yatri Theatre.
