Theatre Village, a prominent name in Kathmandu’s vibrant theatre scene, brought the acclaimed play Sabiti to life from July 1 to 3, 2022. Adapted from the celebrated novel by Jagadish Ghimire, the production delved into themes of social injustice, inequality, and the enduring human spirit, striking a chord with audiences.
Directed by the visionary Bimal Subedi, the play showcased the artistry of Indian actress Anuradha Majumder in the titular role. Her portrayal of Sabiti—a woman grappling with societal inequities—was both poignant and powerful, earning widespread acclaim.
Originally premiered in 2013, Sabiti returned to the stage with a renewed vigor, reaffirming Theatre Village’s reputation for producing thought-provoking and culturally significant works.
A Legacy in the Making
The whispers of a potential revival have sparked excitement among theatre lovers. The play’s timeless message and emotional depth ensure its lasting impact on Nepali theatre.
Whether it returns to the spotlight or not, Sabiti remains a shining example of how art can challenge societal norms, inspire reflection, and celebrate the resilience of the human condition.
