Hum Suffer - Play July 5, 2009

Hum Suffer - Play. Writer: Javed Siddiqi. Director: Salim Arif. Cast: Kiran Karmarkar & Lubna Salim. Hum Suffer is about an erstwhile couple at crossroads, meeting each other over a period of several years, revealing vagaries of contemporary lifestyles which creep into relationships. When Sameer (Kiran Karmarkar) and Sonal (Lubna Salim) decide to divorce after fifteen years of marriage, they do so with an understanding that life can be started afresh, taking a turn at a crossroad and going separate ways. What seemed an amicable solution leaves a few issues unresolved- While Sameer moves on with his quest of solace, an emotionally fragile Sonal finds herself tangled in a web of isolation and despair. The intricacy of human emotions and the delicate threads that hold a family together keep pulling them to each other and apart. Poignant, Romantic and frequently funny, their lives follow a bittersweet journey of marriage, divorce and missed opportunities. The play is a story of two soul mates betraying a need for individual search of love, closeness and some form of happiness. It is as much about love, as it is about urban alienation, family and relationships.
