Surajit recreates Madhusudan's life on stage

Thespian

Surajit Bandyopadhyay

of

Natyoranga

is busy with his new production, Sri Madhusudan. Directed by Swapan Sengupta, the script of the play is penned by Surajit. “My script is influenced by Bonoful, Bidhayak Bhattacharya, Utpal Dutt and

Ghulam Murshid

. I felt Michael Madhusudan’s character is extremely relevant in today’s social scenario,” Surajit told us. His maternal uncle

Swapan Kumar

used to play Michael in jatra. “Debshankar (Halder), after watching the play, told me, ‘

Mama Michael

koreche bhagne korbe na?'” added Surajit with a smile. Besides Surajit, Amiya Shankar Halder, a veteran actor and brother of Debshankar, is playing Vidyasagar and Anindita Bandyopadhyay is seen as Henrietta.
