Natakwala Presents “Bajimaat”
Adaptation & Direction: Shyamal Kumar Chakraborty
Language: Bengali
“Bajimaat” unfolds as a gripping interplay of intellect, morality, and human frailty, weaving humour and suspense into a psychologically charged narrative. Inspired by Hadley Chase's novel "There's Always a Price Tag" and adapted and directed by Shyamal Kumar Chakraborty, the play navigates the dangerous terrain of greed and conscience, where every decision carries an unseen cost. Through layered characters portrayed by Goutam Halder, Babu Dutta Roy, Shakti Dey, Dyuti Ghosh Halder, Shrabani Dey, Souvik Gupta, Subrata Bramha, and Shyamal Kumar Chakraborty, the production reflects situations that echo disturbingly close to everyday life. As wit clashes with ethical dilemmas, the narrative exposes how unchecked desire can entrap the human spirit irrevocably—much like a bird ensnared in its own pursuit. With evocative lighting by Dinesh Poddar and music by Late Nagen Dutta, this production promises an emotionally resonant and intellectually stimulating theatrical experience.
