Binodini entertains UAE audience
Ramendu Majumdar, from UAE
Dhaka Theatre's Binodini, directed by Nasiruddin Yousuff and performed by Shimul Yousuff made a tremendous impact on the audience at Fujairah International Monodrama Festival on December 9. The Festival was inaugurated by HH Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammad Al Sharqui, Supreme Council member and Ruler of Fujairah, one of the seven emirates of UAE at Dibba-Fujairah Theatre on December 8.The audience comprising mostly Arabs and about sixty international guests highly appreciated the performance of Shimul Yousuff and the brilliant production by the Director, Nasiruddin Yousuff. For better understanding of the play, the audience was provided with English and Arabic synopsis of Binodini. After the performance, a one-hour discussion on the play was held where some celebrated directors and actors of the Arab world participated. "Instead of always looking towards the West," one director said, "we should look to the East for our inspiration." At a time when the Bangladesh group members were deeply shocked at the news of suicide bombing in Netrakona, the success of the production gave a boost to their morale.
