Event Description : 'Pot of Gold' hindi play as part of Saksham Theatre Festival 2014.
Yaksh(Baba Botalnath), the household deity of Baans, an old man with a marriageable daughter named Bholi, begins the play with a prologue about how he allowed Baans to discover a pot of gold buried in his house. Baans is then shown almost maniacally guarding his gold from real and imagined threats. Unknown to Baans, Bholi is pregnant by a young man named Bulbul. Bholi is never seen on stage, though at a key point in the play the audience hears her painful cries in labor. Baans is persuaded to marry his daughter to his rich neighbor, an elderly bachelor named Kumar, who happens to be the uncle of Bulbul. This leads to much by-play involving preparations for the nuptials. Eventually Bulbul and his slave appear, and Bulbul confesses to Baans his ravishing of Bholi. Bulbul slave manages to steal the by now notorious pot of gold. Bulbul confronts his slave about the theft. At this point the manuscript breaks off. Baans eventually recovers his pot of gold and gives it to Bulbul and Bholi, who marry in a happy ending.
The figure of the miser has been a stock character of comedy for literally centuries. Plautus does not spare his protagonist various embarrassments caused by the vice, but he is relatively gentle in his satire. Baans is eventually shown as basically a good-hearted man who has been only temporarily affected by greed for gold.
The play also ridicules the old man Kumar for his dream of marrying the nubile and far younger Bholi.The play also includes Plautus’ frequent theme of clever servants outwitting their supposed superiors. Not only does Bulbul servant manage to filch Baans beloved gold, but Baans housemaid Imarti is shown as intelligent and kind in her attitude toward the unfortunately pregnant Bholi.
