This was stated by Amrit Nagpal, Vice President and S.K Rai, General Secretary, Ludhiana Sanskritik Samaam at a press conference held here on Monday.
Briefing about the synopsis, they said, “Salmaan, Noni Appa is a delightful story about life’s wonderful unexpectedness; where new adventures and experiences await us at every turn, provided we have the courage to spot them. It is a tale of discovering love in the autumn of life, and finally, of being true to ourselves.”
Noni Appa, an elderly widow, and her sister Binni, opposites in nature, are two sisters whose worlds after marriage, children and widowhood, merge once again. They laugh, bicker, fight and love, and spend their days in a familiar and comfortable – albeit staid – manner, till one day Noni Appa, who has always lived in step with society, suddenly finds herself falling in love with a younger married man. She finds herself torn between choosing companionship over respectability.
Salaam, Noni Appa is about breaking stereotypes, talking chances, and rediscovering what makes life truly meaningful and worth living.
Further, they said the Primetime Theatre Company was set up in March 1991 with the twin objectives of providing a platform for original Indian writing in English and travelling with its work across India and abroad to showcase indigenous work in different cultures.
