SUMMARY:Shilpi Sangha’s Birpurush\, at Academy
DESCRIPTION:Howrah high-schoolers impress not just with their moving performance but also their original script. Co-authors Rajarshi Dhara and Swapnojoy Ganguly write about a boy who misses his father\, an army officer posted on the border\, and vents his frustration on his working mother. Tagore’s popular poem for children takes the shape of a vivid dream the son has\, and the contrast between it and grim reality creates the stark\, tragic tone. Directed by Kingshuk Bandyopadhyay. \nRecommended: ★★★★. Read my review. \nPart of a double bill with another one-act play.

SUMMARY:Dum Dum Shabdomugdho’s Bel-babu\, at Tapan
DESCRIPTION:Dramatist-director Rakesh Ghosh’s new play about the forgotten comedian and female impersonator of the Bengali commercial stage\, Amritalal Mukherjee (1854-90). His sensational tragic death occurred on 14 March 1890 when he cut the vein of his hand with a shaving razor after the performance of Girish Chandra Ghosh’s Haranidhi at Star Theatre. Unmarried Bel-babu had a strong feminine self within him\, but in the society of that time he had to keep it hidden and was torn apart by terrible mental turmoil. Acting female roles on stage was his only place of liberation.

SUMMARY:Chetana’s Meghe Dhaka Ghatak\, at Academy
DESCRIPTION:Marking Ritwik Ghatak’s birth centenary\, this biodrama by Jeet Satragni\, unlike the usual portrayal of Ghatak as an unwavering and fearless rebel\, delicately explores his early years as a romantic and passionate lover of art. It traces his journey towards a stable career in cinema after marrying his muse\, Surama\, his time in Bombay before returning to Kolkata\, and the reasons for his descent into alcoholism. Directed by Sujan Mukhopadhyay. \nRead my review. Recommended: ★★★★

SUMMARY:Sudrak’s Morche Para Alo\, at Academy
DESCRIPTION:Debasis Majumder‘s new play on the fragility of human relationships and the pain of breaking them. It highlights three major forms of separation: death\, which is a natural consequence to be accepted without anger; physical distancing\, which becomes a daily habit over time; and emotional separation\, which occurs through conflict\, betrayal or coercion and creates a deeper wound than death.
