Theatre Festival, Chittagong
Khudhito Pashan, the last show of the festival
Cultural Correspondent
The final show of the ongoing theatre festival arranged by Nandimukh, Khudhito Pashan, Dhaka based theatre troupe Shubochan Natya Shongsad production, will be staged today at 7 pm at the Shipakala Academy Auditorium, Chittagong. The darker side of aristocracy -- the oppression of women -- is the theme of Tagore's classic Khudhito Pashan. Samar Chattyapadhyaya has dramatised Tagore's short story. For professional reasons, the protagonist of Khudhito Pashan goes near Barich 'Prashad' (palace), which was used by King Shah Mahmud the second for his entertainment with his courtesans. There in his surrealism, the protagonist hears the wailing of the souls of courtesans. Khaled Khan directs the play.
