Cultural Correspondent
Padatik Natya Sangsad staged Palli Kabi Jasim Uddin's timeless tale Beder Meye at Bangladesh Mahila Samity Auditorium recently. The play is directed by Irene Parvin Lopa. As the title implies, the play is the saga of a bede girl. Named Champabati, her life changes forever when she is abducted by the morol (village headman). Despite fervent appeals, her husband (Gaya), fails to rescue her. He then leaves the village and marries another girl. Subsequent events lead to a dramatic denouement. The cast comprises Wahidul Islam, Mominul Haque Dipu, Saida Samsi Ara, Shafiqur Rahman Sagor and Arefa Sultana Lina, among others. Beder Meye is the 28th production of Padatik.
