It was held as an invited play at the Third Theatre Festival organised by Kalyani Mukhosh. ‘Dhubatara’ has been directed by Soumyajit Adhikary , and is a collaboration of 30 other theatre practitioners’ performances.
Two other important components of the play are its beautifully suited music and costumes of the actors – which have been taken care of by Anup Ghoshal and Dipanjan Bakshi respectively.

The overall ambience, script and presentation of the play have not only left the audience mesmerized but also infused the auditorium with the great man’s vision, mission that are still strongly persistent in our society.
