   Garhwali fiction writer and poet Om Prakash Semwal wrote short play ‘Garibee ‘for the school going students. The play was staged in Chopta in 1992.

   The short Garhwali stage play is about the spread and its bad effects of alcoholism in Garhwal (Gham ast t Garhwal mast).

  Envied by rich position of Nartu, Bhadu also starts country liquor business. Instead of sending school, Bhadu involves his son Gwabrya in liquor business. Bhadu usually beats Gwabrya for his mistakes. One day Gwabrya takes a cruelest step against his father’s beating.

  The play takes two subjects together that alcoholism is because of older generation for appreciating alcohol consumption before the children and taking children in alcohol business. Another implicit story is that what you sow you will get the same.

    The stage play or short drama ‘Garibee’ is written for morality teaching but morality is implicit in the stage play and there are no preaching speeches at all. The drama is successful in preaching against alcoholism and also teaches for better ways of parenting too.

  Om Prakash Semwal uses simple dialogues keeping in mind the children as audience. The dialogues are from day to day life of rural Garhwal.
