Nasrin Jahan's play Rupobati highlights the scourge of poverty in the rural areas, where people are often compelled to leave their dearest ones, seeking a better life. The play features the conflict between love and destitution. A flutist in the play wanders from village to village in search of the killer of his beloved Rupoboti. Who is the killer? Is he an individual or a faceless enemy? At the end of the play one comes to the realisation that it is poverty that makes the flutist and Rupoboti suffer.

Directed by Khaled Khan, Ahsan Habib Nasim is the music composer and Anisul Haque Barun is the choreographer of the play. Enamul Karim Nirjhar is the set designer and Abu Daud Ashrafee is the light designer.
