Noted theatre troupe Dhaka Theatre is going to stage a premiere show Outsider at the National Theatre Hall, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy at 7pm today.
The 39th production of the play Outsider has been directed by Nasiruddin Yousuf Bacchu and modified by Rubayet Ahmed, which has been produced from the famous novel The Stranger subtitled in French L’Étranger by Albert Camus.
The plot of the story is on a French Algerian Meursault who received the news of his mother’s demise on a telegram. And in an incident, he kills an Arab and the story takes a turn to crime and punishment.
Camus explored the nakedness of a man faced with absurdness in his trial. The play focuses on humanity, justice, love and politics.
The play is a tribute on the occasion of the playwright’s birthday, who died in a tragic road accident at the age of only 46. Camus was awarded Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957.
Dhaka Theatre emphasises classical plays which has gained a remarkable position in the international cultural arena and it also represents the culture and art of Bangladesh featuring music and dance, reflecting the traditional forms with modern ideas.
