PRESENT PRODUCTION

EKDIN NANDINI
Script : Sankar Basuthakur
Direction : Dilip Basuthakur

Nandini Mukherjee lived under the delusion that life was only fun and frivolity-nothing else.
She was rich, cultured and a devoted wife. Nandini’s devotion to her husband was so abject that it made her like a puppet on a string.
She had humane feelings which failed to find any expression. In fact Nandini represents millions of our womenfolk who suffer in silence and yet pretend to be happy.
Then there was a tragic incident in the family which shattered the fancy world of Nandini. She finds herself face to face with realities that help her to discover the true spirit of human existence.



RASHOSUNDORI KATHA
Script and Direction- Sankar Basuthakur

The Play Rashosundri Katha is based on the autobiography of Rashosundari Debi who was born on 1810, in a wealthy family of the then East Bengal. It was the first autobiography ever written in Indian languages by a lady and it was written at a time when the concept of women education was a sacrilege.

The autobiography vividly paints the plight of women in the then Bengal. Women as a whole were ostricised from receiving education. They were doomed to be totally illiterate and were debarred from social interaction. It was she who registered a silent protest by learning to read and write secretly without anyone's help. Rashosundari's Journey in educating herself was a long and arduous process.

She was married at the age of twelve and gave birth to twelve children and six of them died early. The personal tragedy failed to deter Rashosundari. She was dedicated in her mission and after being fully literate (Jitakshar) started writing her autobiography raising a strong voice in support of women education and empowerment. This is unique because it was done at a time when orthodox society was indifferent and hostile to these vital Issues.

Eshona's play RASHOSUNDARI KATHA is a tribute to this great lady.



SAHA-BAS
Script : Sankar Basuthakur
Direction : Dilip Basuthakur

The two principal characters of the play Anindya and Olivia are intimate friends, well settled in life and both are unmarried.

They stay together but they refused to call it a “live in” or ”live together” situation. According to then their staying together is an experiment in life which is devoid of physical urge or pleasure.

In public eye the so called experiment was open to question. But what their close neighbour Dutta Babu did, was very much unexpected!

Then followed a series of hilarious incidents that pushed the play through twists and turns and at last......

Samiran grew up under the care of four male mothers. Time passed by the four Chatterjee also passed away leaving only Samiran to hold the fort.

APARANHER ALO
Script : Sankar Basuthakur
Direction : Dilip Basuthakur

Aparanher Alo is that strange light which paints the world in different patterns of colours during sun set hours. The sky above, the fields down below, the river, the trees, bathe in this light regardless of the fact that soon darkness will set in.

Akashay Babu views old age as a new station of life which provides an opportunity to get one self pointed in the enchanting colours of the sunset hours with malice to none and love towards all. Bhakti bhusan and Sarbojaya, his two close friends, share this philosophy of life. But the rhythm is disturbed with the appearance of Anadi chakroborty at Pphool Doongri where the previously mentioned three characters were spending their retired life, Anadi had deserted home with the feeling that his son and daughter-in-law treated his presence in the family as a burden. Now under the leadership of Sarbojaya the four elderly persons started a whirlpool of fan and frivolity the vortex of which touched the problem of old age in a society which stands denuded of the values of joint family system.

DHARMA UBACHO

The presiding deity of the temple at Bishnupur village is Dharma Raj .Years of neglect and misappropriation of temple property has reduced the temple to ruins. Yet, Dharma Raj has stayed put at Bishnupur because he loves the people.

Events unfurl in quick succession in which the characters are caught in comedy packed actions that ultimately lead to sorry, let us take a break and hear what Dharma Raj has to say.

BOJHA PARA
Script : Sankar Basuthakur
Direction : Dilip Basuthakur

"Bojha Para" is a hilarious comedy which conveys a positive message precisely the need for "understanding" in our family and social life. The characters of the play – Agor, Sadhu charan , Bhola, Bhaja, Reba, Nira and Abhay have limitations of their own and they generate tension and noisy outburst when they interact with one another. But given a little patience and understanding the noise could have been a symphony.

SAKHA PRIYOTOMO
Script : Sankar Basuthakur
Direction : Dilip Basuthakur

Life is a continuous journey. There are challenges, there are hurdles, there are deception and despair. We must take all of them in our stride to make our journey a tolerable one.
