LAHORE- Acclaimed writer Anwar Maqsood is currently busy writing a play titled Naya Pakistan which will be put up on stage on August 14. The announcement was made by the writer himself at a press conference at the Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi on Tuesday afternoon.
The play entitled “Naya Pakistan” will depict the current situation of the country and how it is influencing the nation, as judged by the writer being a common man. And we’re sure Anwar Maqsood, like his previous masterpieces, will definitely do justice with the theme.
Anwar Maqsood says that the revenue collected from the play would also be donated for a charity cause as ‘Endowment fund’ for the financially challenged artists who have gone off the showbiz industry and aren’t getting work anymore.
As reported by Dawn, “the central character of the play Naya Pakistan will be a street vendor who is trying to sell the old Pakistan in the new one. There will also be a character of Allama Iqbal looking for their place in the fresh setup.”
Speaking about the ongoing play Naach Na Jaanay, he said the project has gained immense appreciation from the general public and the show is going houseful, which is why the council decided to extend the show further.
Considering the popularity and success, the team of the play is encouraged to present it internationally and soon it will be performed in UAE, South Africa and the UK, the press conference announced.
