Natyajan staged its acclaimed production, ‘Shesh Rokkha’ at the Experimantal Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy yesterday. ‘Shesh Rokkha’ is a notable comedy by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, which has been dramatised, and directed by young theatre activist Mohsina Akter for Natyajan. This is the ninth production of the troupe.
The amusing story of the play combines incidents in a domestic setting. However, an adaptation of Tagore’s comedy, Natyajan’s ‘Shesh Rakkha’ presents a different interpretation of the Tagore creation through contemporary style.
The play, which brings out the progressive ideas of Tagore, is a story of four couples, their lives, crises and more. However, the couples, at one point, realise the depth of their relations following a series of mistakes.
Apart from directing the play, Mohsina Akter has designed the set, stage lights and costumes for the production. Uttam Guha is the art director of the play while Anik Basu did the choreographer of the production. The cast of the play will include TV actress Chitralekha Guha along with Shimu, Nolok, Shumona, Liton and Tabibul Islam.
