Synopsis
‘Anandapurkars’ is a play based on ‘Happy Arcadia’ by W.S. Gilbert. It is a satire on the genre of pastoral plays, which were set in an ideal world named Anandpur. The piece has a typical Gilbertian topsy-turvy plot in which magic items grant wishes, and each of the characters uses his or her wish to become someone else. The magical items help them become the characters that they desire to become, which turns into chaos.
