Anwar Maqsood: “I Am Not a Member of Any Political Party, I Am Only with Pakistan”

Lahore: Renowned Pakistani playwright, television host, and comedian Anwar Maqsood has stated that he is not a member of any political party, but only with Pakistan.
During a press conference in Lahore, Anwar Maqsood expressed, “When the country is in a bad state, I also feel bad. I have been writing about the country’s conditions and people for the past 68 years.”
Maqsood further mentioned that his new play, “House Arrest,” is not political but comedic. He described the play as being about the pain of migrant women who are confined by their sons in their homes. He added that the script had undergone 109 revisions.
He also revealed that his play was not allowed to be staged at Alhamra due to the inclusion of old songs instead of dance performances. After two shows in Islamabad, a raid was conducted.
The play’s director, Dawar Mehmood, stated that “House Arrest” will be presented at an auditorium on Ferozepur Road until August 3.
On the occasion, the play’s producer, Wajiha, mentioned that the play had received much love in Karachi and Islamabad.
