Dhaka Theatre is going to stage its new play Outsider at the Bhashani Hall, Tangail, at 6pm today.
The script of the play, directed by Nasiruddin Yousuf Bacchu and modified by Rubayet Ahmed, has been produced from the famous novel The Stranger subtitled in French L’Étranger by Albert Camus.
The plot of the story revolves around a French Algerian Meursault who received the news of his mother’s demise on telegram. And in an incident, he kills an Arab and the story takes a turn into 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. 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.
