A SILENT BURDEN OF SOCIETAL SCREAMS

"A silent burden of societal screams" is a play that portrays our perspectives and restrictions upon our children. It shows us how much two beings in love have to suffer even if their love is pure, just because of the family pressure and the societal judgement. It highlights the dark reality of society that how money and status is considered everything and there is no value of desires. In a society where this youth is so restricted leads to take either wrong steps or bury their selves alive in the thought of repaying their family, of how they raised them with difficulties. Being blackmailed by them, children get married and leads an unhappy life. A life where they survive rather then live. It also signifies the judgmental words and behavior a girl goes through when she reaches to the age to get married. All her dreams and desires are silenced and she is treated as a puppet, controlled by her family and society. Giving dowry is nothing but a price of your daughter. A price to take your burden away.
