“The playwright-director Shayok Misha Chowdhury’s bilingual text and production are both gorgeously precise…even the non-Bangla-speaking members of the audience stayed rapt…it was a testament to how convincingly Chowdhury had built his world—and to how carefully he had taught us to listen.”
Helen Shaw, The New Yorker

A Soho Rep and NAATCO production, written and directed by Shayok Misha Chowdhury, featuring Tashnuva Anan, Abrar Haque, Golam Sarwar Harun, Gargi Mukherjee, NaFis, and Jakeem Dante Powell, with dramaturgy by Sarah Lunnie and Sukanya Chakrabarti, scenic by dots, lighting by Barbara Samuels, video by Johnny Moreno, costumes by Enver Chakartash, sound by Tei Blow, and props by Patricia Marjorie. Photos by Julieta Cervantes.

“…directed by Chowdhury with a swooning hypnotism reminiscent of the best works of neorealism…”
Juan A. Ramirez, The New York Times

“Chowdhury…directs with a restraint and subtlety that match his text. Scenes play out in a naturalistic way, mimicking the rhythms of life, and the meaning and significance accumulates over time…He has admirably absorbed the ancient writerly wisdom to show, not tell.
Thom Geier, The Wrap
