Sharof Boshbekov and “Temir xotin”

Sharof Boshbekov was born in 1951; he entered literature in the 1970s and works in drama, regarded as the most complex kind of literature. His stage works include “Taqdir eshigi”, “Tikansiz tipratikanlar”, “Eski shahar gavroshlari”, “Eshik qoqqan kim bo‘ldi?”, “Temir xotin”, “Tushov uzgan tulporlar”, “Charog‘bonlar” and “Tentak farishtalar”. He directed the film “Masxaraboz” from his own script, created the TV series “Charxpalak” and wrote scripts for several films. In his piece “O‘zim haqimda” he says nobody in his family was in the arts, that in his village school a singing lesson replaced other subjects, and that this led him to an acting school. As an actor he was intoxicated by large audiences, then realised actors speak others’ words and began to write himself. Reading ancient Greek and world dramas, he admits his first works came out “too foreign-looking” and he worked hard to return to the national side. His favourite tool is humour: he says serious things through funny situations and word play.
