The words of Saadat Hasan Manto have caught the attention of many writers — both established and aspiring —  for generations. The Theatre Management Company is hosting the third edition of the Online Theatre Festival where the Urdu Mehfil will showcase the works of the brilliant writer.

The event will introduce the audience with a recital of one of his stories, Do Kaumein. “The idea of this festival emerged with the realisation that theatre is not as accessible to the general public. The Urdu Mehfil is particularly interesting as it introduces the great works of Manto to the masses,” shares Anuj Khandelwal, COO, Theatre Management Company.
