Asmita Theatre's Ek Mamooli Aadmi at Shri Ram Centre

Ek Mamooli Aadmi highlights those features of an urban middle-class setting that make the yearning for real happiness an agonizing experience. The play also accentuates the contours of a system in which even biological relations are bound to breed loneliness, making family fatal to an individual.

Ishwar Chand Awasthi, the protagonist, is on his death bed when he realizes that it was not a life that he led so far. It was death, unnoticed and unannounced. The perception of this death animates him and soon becomes the source of others' happiness and an extraordinary asset to life and society.
