<br /></div>
We had requested members of the audience to send us their feedback/ reviews of Dastan Little Prince ki which was premiered at the Habiat Centre on the 23rd of July. Here is the first review we received from Rudra Satwik, Sardar Patel Vidyalaya.
"Hello! this is Rudra.this is to tell you that your dastangoi on the little prince was really nice. the best parts were the kings scene and the song that parents were really weird. my friends who had come also enjoyed it a lot there. thanks for inviting me and my friends there bye bye."

<div style="text-align: center;">
presents three tales in the traditional Urdu storytelling form of Dastangoi</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two from `Tilism-e-Hoshruba` where Amar Aiyyaar, the chief trickster & Amir Hamza`s friend, with his disciples foil the mighty Hoshruba Emperor Afrasiyab`s plan to imprison him. He tricks both Afrasiyab`s sorcerers Aazar and Mahtaab Jadoo in disbelieving their own magical powers, and eventually kills them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a tale of the Partition of the Indian Subcontinent in 1947, Dastan-e-Taqseem-Hind, which brings to the fore the absurdity and the tragedy of this cataclysmic event. The Partition tale will be performed for the first time since its inception six years back at the Prithvi Theatre. </div>
