The poet, writer of the most beautiful gahazals, lover of alcohol, a man who courts any muse visible to him, man reduced to selling muse visible to him, a man reduced to selling his poetry to a businessman who passes of as their own. Mareez is a fantasia of theme of poetic improvisation.

"Based on Raish Maniaar's Astitva And Vyaktitva, the play explores the life of a poet-genius who loved al- cohol, courted muses, and had to sell his verse to oth- ers who presented them as their own. An under-rat- ed, but much read and loved Gulam Mohammed Shaikh, alias Mareez, is brought to life handsomely by an exacting performance, a reminiscent Kalbadevi backdrop (the set), and finally by his poetry which is reason enough to buy that ticket."
Audience
"Mareez is as much a must watch for the story historical sense it has recreated."
Audience
"Portrayal of a poet by Dharmendra Gohil is done amazingly. Its a must watch show."
Ambika Bhatt
"This play chronicles the life of Gujarati poet Mareez, an alcoholic who died inanonymity, with sublime dialogue dripping with poetry."
