While talking about this new play of Theatre, its director Tropa Majumdar told this correspondent, “We are really impressed with the unprecedented response we have been getting from the audience for this play since the beginning. We did this play a few years ago. The idea started when our favourite actor respected Aly Zaker fell sick. Then it seemed that if we can do something about him on stage. If we get one, he will like it. Then I requested Abdus Selim sir to translate this drama into Bengali. Selim Sir immediately converted it to Bengali. We did it with Aly Zaker. But later Aly Zaker’s body got worse. In the end, we couldn’t do it even with the initiative of this rehearsal. He (Aly Zaker) then told my father that you start, I will join. But we didn’t have that luck anymore. Later, I did it with mother and father. It’s definitely the way of stage reading.”
While talking about the drama, veteran actress Ferdousi Mazumader said, “I am still able to perform on stage in a healthy body – this is a great joy. The audience is coming to watch the play with interest – that’s what we get. We have mixed the liberation war of Bangladesh in this play. If the ‘Pathabhinoy’ (stage reading), still many things have been associated with him, including music.”
