Independent Theatre Pakistan (often abbreviated to ITP) is a Pakistani theatre company based in Lahore, Punjab, established in March 2012.〔 The group is directed by founder, writer and director, Azeem Hamid, who was soon joined with designer, Danyaal Syed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Tete-a-Tete with Azeem Hamid )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Stage Play: Kamra No 9 )〕 It is the youngest theatre company in continuous production to have performed both internationally and domestically from Pakistan. Since their inception, the group has performed over thirteen theatrical productions. The group primarily performs in Urdu language but has also done theatrical productions in English and Punjabi languages.〔 They have extensively focused on the revival of Urdu literature in Pakistan. Independent Theatre Pakistan have produced original theatrical productions such as ''Awaaz'' (literal translation: ''Voice''), a psychological thriller play and the satirical short-play ''Kuttay'' (literal translation: ''Dogs''). Also, they have adapted the works of progressive South Asian writers like Saadat Hassan Manto, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Krishan Chander, Imtiaz Ali Taj, Ashfaq Ahmed and Meerza Adeeb. ==History== The company was founded in 2012 by Azeem Hamid and Danyaal Syed and now operates all across theatres in Lahore: Alhamra Arts Council and Ali Auditorium (for classical Urdu & Broadway plays and musicals) and different educational institutes (for theatre workshops & short plays). Their first theatrical production ''Hatak'' (literal meaning: ''Insult''),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Shehr, NOS, Town Talk )〕 featured fashion model and actress Zara Peerzada in the lead role, was based on the short-story of famous Urdu writer Saadat Hassan Manto, staged in November 2012 at Alhamra Arts Council and received mixed reviews from critics. This was followed by the group collaborating with Beaconhouse School Liberty for a theatrical performance ''Dareecha'', based loosely on the writings of the play ''Qurtaba Ka Qazi'' written by Imtiaz Ali Taj.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Shehr, NOS, Town Talk Nov 11-2012 )〕 In 2013, the group initiated their year with two short-length plays; ''Dastak'', a play written by Meerza Adeeb and an original, ''Awaaz'', in collaboration with Lahore Grammar School JT Girls, the latter winning two-awards at ''Colors & Humour'' 2013 for the best actress & supporting actor roles. This success was later followed by a sold-out performance of Ashfaq Ahmed's tele-play stage adaptation ''Fehmida Ki Kahani, Ustaani Rahat Ki Zubani'' in March, the performance was praised by many literature writers including Ayub Khawar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Independent Theatre Pakistan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
