Debesh Chattopadhyay is busy directing his first play with team Swapnasandhani. “This is first in many ways — I’m the first guest director for the group,
Lal (
Suman Mukhopadhyay) will do the set design for the group for the first time, and last but not the least, this is collaboration between Baban (
Kaushik Sen), Lal and me that has never happened before,” said the director.
Based on George Orwell’s 1984, the play is Debesh’s take on the vigilance and surveillance of a totalitarian state.
“Orwell novel talks about a dystopian state where ‘big brother watches you’ all the time. This is something I wanted to portray in my play. There are no guest actors in the play. All are the youngsters of Swapnasandhani,” the director added.
