\n<\/a>On the third day of the ongoing Ganga Jamuna Theatre Festival, two classics and a contemporary play will be staged at the three theatre halls of
\nBangladesh Shilpakala Academy today.
\nLoko Natyadol will stage Kanjush at the National Theatre Hall, Chittagong based troupe Teerjok Natydol will stage Raktakarabi at the Experimental Theatre Hall and Prachyanat will stage Kinu Kaharer\u00a0Thetar at the Studio Theatre Hall.
\nLoko Natyadol\u2019s Kanjush, adapted by Tariq Anam Khan from Moliere\u2019s classic \u2018The Miser\u2019, has the record of largest number of shows of over times in the country.
\nDirected by Liaquat Ali Lucky, Kanjush features a funny story of a miser named Haider Ali Khan. The production has numerous amusing and comic elements punched into the play through the local Dhakaiya dialect and the hilarious central character.
\nOn the other hand Rabindranath Tagore\u2019s classic Raktakarabi has been directed by Ahmed Iqbal Haider of Teerjok Natyadol.
\nRaktakarabi depicts the conflict between mechanisation and the free human spirit. It is a critique of the ideology of capitalism which inevitably leads the society and its people to dehumanization, where free life does not exist in its free form. Nandini, the central character, is a representation of undying love. It is a play where love and life is asserted through life, death and resurrection of the lovers.
\nPrachyanat\u2019s Kinu Kaharer Thetar is written by an Indian playwright Monoj Mitra, and is directed by Kazi Toufiqul Islam Imon.
\nThe play revolves round an imaginary comic story which, in reality, satirises the political leaders of a country.
\nThe play shows that a minister of a province molests a woman. Hearing this, an English Lord issues an order stating – \u2018if this doesn\u2019t get justice I will toss my throne.\u2019 The king gets in great trouble when he finds out that it was his minister who is also the king\u2019s closest crony. So he advises the minister to fix a man to admit responsibility for the crime and take the punishment.
\nOne poor man agrees to become the criminal and in return his wife takes four bags of money from the king. Later it became a practice that all the thieves, dacoits and criminals come to hire that man for their punishments.<\/p>\n
