The Colony Lahore

12/03/2024

For someone who enjoys theatre, the poster of ’s latest show, Laila Majnu was enticing enough to purchase tickets instantly. An age-old tale turned into a musical, a blend of great storytelling and dance performances at the grand Haveli Barood Khana in old Lahore — I knew it was going to be good, but little did I know what a stellar performance I was in for.

A classic saga, Laila Majnu is a tale of two childhood lovers, Qays and Laila, from Arabia, who aren’t allowed to unite due to socio-economic differences. When Laila is married off to someone else due to family pressure, Qays becomes obsessed with her and people start calling him Majnu, loosely translated as “crazy”. In his obsession with Laila, Qays devotes himself to writing verses about his profound love for her.

The live performance did absolute justice to the classic tale, engrossing the audience till the last second, giving them an experience to remember. From the brilliant narration by Hashim Ali to the stellar direction, choreography and acting by Saad Sheikh, one of the two founders of The Colony, everything about the performance was par excellence.
