Synopsis of the Play
 It's
a Punjabi folktale, the protagonist of
the play is an ambitious and adventurous
belle of countryside who encounters an
imposter, but eventually outwits him and
escapes unhurt. The story begins at the
village-well, where girls are engaged in
talking of their weddings. But, Bopo the
prettiest of all stays gloomy, being
orphan. Meanwhile, an imposter overhears
and entices her. Crows try to convince
her to refrain from Thug, Peacock sing
and stop Bopo but in vain, Jackals'
howls couldn't prevent her. Despite
stopping of Crows, Peacocks and Jackals
she doesn't listen. When she reaches the
thug's house, she comes across his
mother, a bald old lady. During her
caging at thug's house, Bopo disdains
her stay and hits a plan to knock down
thug's mother. Her gentlest hit is
enough to knock off the old woman for
the time being. Then she dresses the
thug's mother with her own clothes and
makes her sit near a spinning wheel.
When thug comes, being at distance
cannot recognize and in rage beats her
since she stays mute despite lots of his
callings. Bopo stays in a friend's house
for hardly a night and flees away. She
takes a log with her. When in her
pursuit he and his aides come, she
pretends a fast asleep and hits them
with log. Two of them get hit their
heads. Bopo ties them together while all
are faint. Bopo returns to Thug's house,
picks all the gold, silver coins etc.
She becomes quite rich and can marry
anyone she's pleased.
