Ular: A theatrical presentation of the time that stands still

The locals of Koreanpur, a place in Nepalgunj, are desperately waiting for the final results of the election. On the left side of the stage is a betel shop named Jalan Pan Pasal and around the stage are banners that read ‘Rajendar Babu Jindabaad’ and ‘Shanti Raja Jindabaad’. Rajendar Babu and Shanti Raja recently competed in an election and are waiting for the final result while the supporters of both the candidates are boasting about their sides.

This is how Ular being staged at Kausi Theatre, produced by Garden Theatre Production in collaboration with Katha Ghera, begins. The play directed by Che Shankar is an adaptation of the Nepali novel of the same title by Nayan Raj Pandey.
