Premiere at National Theatre Stage
Centre for Asian Theatre (CAT) premiered their latest production, an Ibsen classic addressing the constrained social position of women and the significance of an individual's freedom. A successor of Ibsen's "The Doll's House (1879), "The Lady From the Sea"(1888) hits the same issues but through a more symbolic and psychological foreground.

At a corner of the National Theatre Stage, members of Subachan Natya Sangsad were humming a classical based tune, while actor-musician Ahsan Habib Nasim started reciting a message on behalf of the troupe on their 30th anniversary. A collective sound of conches followed. At another corner, Subachan members lighted thirty candles.
Theatre troupe Prachyanat staged their 14th production Raja…Ebong Annanyo (King of the Dark Chamber...and Others) on September 12 at the Experimental Theatre Stage, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy. Directed by Azad Abul Kalam, the production is a contemporary, experimental theatrical presentation of the classic Tagore play Raja (1910).
