| Habib Mamoon |
| Russia's cherished storyteller and internationally acclaimed dramatist and playwright Anton Chekhov is known for his tragedies. One of his most popular plays Uncle Vanya (1896) is set, as are all Chekhov’s plays, against the background of pre-Revolutionary Russia near the turn of the century. This masterpiece is a heady concoction of humour, hope and loss - loss of romantic love, of ambition, of ideals, of illusions. It has been artfully adapted into Habib Mamoon by Sub-Continent’s popular writer Zahida Zaidi. In a bid to revive quality theatre in Karachi, National Academy of Performing Arts (NAPA) put up its first public production, Zahida Zaidi’s Habib Mamoon at the Arts Council Theatre. It was produced and directed by Chairman NAPA, Zia Mohyeddin.
The theatrical feat was a fundraising event for TCF and it was meticulously organized by STCF and the Marketing Department of TCF. Theatre enthusiasts and ardent art lovers were provided 10 nights of top quality drama – from August 24 till September 02 2007. The cast boasted of stalwarts like Talat Hussain, Rahat Kazmi, Arshad Mahmud, Zaheen Tahira and seasoned artists like Nyla Jaffry, Anjum Ayaz and Jahanara Hai.
