Citycell-Mahakal Theatre Festival '07
"Nakshikanthar Math" to be staged today


Featuring the tragic love story between Shaju and Rupai, portrayal of rural Bangladesh -- traditions, struggles and way of living as a whole -- is presented eloquently in Nakshikanthar Math. The play -- an adaptation of Pallikabi Jasimuddin's popular narrative poem with the same title -- will be staged by Bangladesh Theatre at the Experimental Theatre Stage today, as part of the ongoing Citycell-Mahakal Theatre Festival '07, arranged by Mahakal Natyasampradaya.

Khondokar Shah Alam has adapted and directed the play.
