Theatre Art Unit stages Court Martial today
DL desk
Today, Theatre Art Units much-talked-about play Court Martial, which has been adapted from the Marathi playwright Sawdesh Dipaks play with the same title, will be staged at 7pm at the Experimental Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA), Segun Bagicha in the capital.
The play is translated by Salil Sarkar, transcreated and directed by SM Solaiman and Mohammad Bari oversees the directorial aspects of the play now. The play depicts the fact that man cannot hold back the inherent jealousy and cruelty through staging an imaginary court martial. The play confronts the audience with a question: Is it possible for human beings to avoid inherent jealousy or cruelty?
In Court Martial, the playwright has tried to find out the truth from the most disciplined institution of a nation, the army. The play is based on a sensitive issue; the dilemmas of the offspring of the Biranganas (War heroines) and the assimilation of the children of the Pakistani collaborators into the society after the Liberation War.
Tickets will be available in front of the hall before the show.
Where: BSA, Segun Bagicha
When: 7pm, today
