KARACHI: Shah Sharabeel returns to the theatre scenario with another farcical recreation, You Only Marry Twice (YOMT).
You Only Marry Twice is an Urdu remake of Ray Cooney’s comedy play Caught in the Net which revolves around a bigamist taxi-driver who tries to keep both his families separate and blissfully unaware of each other. In the local rendition John Smith is replaced by Faisal Mirza whose children from different wives meet over the Internet and fall in love.
You Only Marry Twice is Shah Sharabeel’s fifth play after the phenomenal Bombay Dreams, The Phantom of Opera, Moulin Rouge and Tom Dick & Harry.
You Only Marry Twice will be showing in Karachi from March 30 to April 19, after which it will move to Islamabad. It is not yet confirmed whether it will be shown in Lahore.
