We hope to stage our best and latest productions at the festival’, said Padatik Natya Sangsad member Shakhwat Hossain Shimul. ‘Gahonjatra’ is a monodrama.
Written by Rubaiyat Ahmed and directed by Sudip Chakraborthy, the monodrama addresses the rise of extremism in society. ‘Kaalratri’, on the other hand, is a liberation war-based play. The play, based on Shireen Hossain’s story ‘Lone Survivor’, has been adapted by Tanvir Ahmed Sydney and directed by Wahidul Islam.
