Theatre troupe Palakar will stage one of its critically acclaimed stage productions “Narigon” at the Experimental Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy at 7:00pm today.
This particular staging marks the birth anniversary of Ataur Rahman, the director of the play and eminent theatre personality who has been called “Natya Sarothi” among the fellow theatre activists.
Written by Syed Shamsul Haq, the play depicts the heart-breaking incidents in the palace after the death of Siraj-ud-Daulah, the last Nawab of Bengal, following his defeat to the British colonial power in the Battle of Plassy in 1757.
The undivulged agonies of female folk in the palace are narrated in the play along with the cruelty of the winning forces.
