Bonna Mirza to make New York stage debut with ‘Nemesis’

Acclaimed Bangladeshi theatre and television actress Bonna Mirza is set to make her New York stage debut with ‘Nemesis’, a Bangla theatre production written by Masum Reza and directed by Khairul Islam Pakhi.

The first show will be staged on September 5 in New York’s Jamaica area, with two performances at 5:00pm and 7:00pm. The production is being presented by ‘Theatre 71’.

Bonna Mirza has built a strong reputation through her work in theatre and television.

A longtime member of ‘DeshNatok’, she has appeared in several acclaimed stage productions and was also a familiar face on television, where she regularly performed in dramas.

Now based in the United States, she said returning to theatre has brought her particular joy.

She said in this regard, “I am happy that we are going to present a play before the audience.

It is a great joy for me, especially because it is theatre. Performing on stage brings a different kind of joy.”

Bonna Mirza is also excited about bringing a Bangla production from Bangladesh to New York. She praised both the writing and direction of ‘Nemesis’, describing Masum Reza’s script as a beautiful one.

Khairul Islam Pakhi, who was associated with ‘Dhaka Theatre’ for many years, has been directing the production.
