After the National School of Drama (NSD) “postponed” a theatre production of Bhisham Sahni’s Tamas that was supposed to open this Independence Day, there is now palpable tension among those involved in the play with no word from the institute on when the show had been postponed to.
The NSD Repertory was putting up the production at the Abhimanch Auditorium from August 14 to 20 – as part of their end-of-the-session show.
After over one and a half months of practice, rehearsals and production, however, the NSD put up a statement on social media, announcing that it was postponing the show indefinitely – two days before opening.
