In
1998 Mr. Ray Chowdhury had gone to Bangladesh with his team on being
invited by Viswa Kala Kendra, Dacca. The plays TARTUFFE and CHIRAKUMAR
SAPHA were performed in front of packed auditoriums. All the plays mentioned above were directed by Mr. Ray Chowdhury & he feels that the success of these productions depended mainly from the total support he received from his colleagues. He would particularly like to mention the names of Mr. Biplab Dasgupts, Mr. Sukumar Banerjee, Ms. Regina Chatterjee (whose migration to US has been an immense lose to our theatre) Ms. Pragyaparamita Chatterjee, Ms. Srijata Bhattacharya and finally Ms. Mou Bhattacharya (who has won many laurels as a stage actress). |
