Q1) What according to you is the most
important element in a drama?
Ans- There isn't just a single element of
importance in a drama. There are a number of things which in fact contribute to
a successful drama. Two things, which I consider essential are:
a) Choice of the text: It should be
appealing to the audience.
b) Human situation which is relevant to the
society.
Q2)Can you throw some light on the
plot/theme that Dickens and Manto have incorporated in their works?
Ans- Dickens and Manto’s works reflected
basically the world that they lived in. They had a humanitarian approach to the
social problem. Also, Manto’s works in particular are historical documents as
well.
Q3) As far as props are concerned, how
essential are they for dramatization?Ans- Props are not all important. Its not just the physical prop that one should always think of. There are many other factors like expressions, voice modulation, and gestures which contribute significantly to create dramatic tension on stage.
Q4) All the students had performed plays
written by Manto .Unfortunately Dickens did not find a representation here. What do you think could be the reason for this?
Ans- Well, that is primarily because
Dickens' world is a foreign world. Students performed plays which are rooted in
our soil and one could easily relate to it.
Q5) Characters in drama play a pivotal
role in communicating a playwright’s message to the audience. Do you agree
with this statement?
Ans- Yes. The characters tell the stories. In
fact, they give life to the play. Plays can be adapted in various languages but
its only the characters that pertinently appeal to the masses and get
entrenched in their minds.
