Rawalpindi: The Regional Drama Festival commenced at the Punjab Arts Council (PAC) Rawalpindi with the staging of the play Rishte Aur Ferishte, written and directed by Yar Muhammad.

The festival features a series of family dramas performed by renowned local artists.

The opening day performance included powerful portrayals by Raja Sattar, Anjum Abbasi, Shahid Bhola, Allama Sajjad, Rizwana Khan, Zahra, and Yar Muhammad. The cast received warm applause from the audience for their compelling performances.

The play explores the destructive nature of greed, depicting how the lust for wealth can lead a man to forsake genuine relationships. Ultimately, it delivers a strong message that material wealth holds no value in comparison to the love for one’s homeland, which is portrayed as the truest and most enduring bond.

On the occasion, PAC Director Sajjad Hussain said the festival is being organized in line with the Punjab government’s vision to promote fine arts and offer clean, quality entertainment to the public.

A large audience attended the opening night and lauded the efforts of the performers and organizers. The Regional Drama Festival will continue until June 5.
