Stagephiles’ Cocaine, at Padatik

Pendleton King’s 1916 American play adapted to Kolkata. Set in a cramped attic apartment, it is a raw, unflinching look at two people at the absolute end of their tether. Trapped between the agony of addiction and the hauntingly beautiful memories of their past under the bridge, they hatch a desperate plan to protect their bond from a brutal world. Directed by Suchi Goenka.
