SAMAHAR NATYA GOSTHEE TO SHOWCASE BIPLOVEE VIVEKANANDA ON WORLD THEATRE DAY

An exquisite play Biplovee Vivekananda under Samahar Natya Gosthee in

memory of Manabendra Bhattacharyya is planning to stage on the

occasion of the World Theatre Day at District Library Auditorium,

Guwahati today. The drama is written and directed by eminent

theatre personality Dr Sitanath Lahkar. Biplovee Vivekananda is based

on the ideology and philosophy of the great saint. The play, used

Vivekananda’s exact quotes, is an attempt to showcase the humanist in

its true spirit. It is an endeavour against the desperation of some

sections to project Vivekananda as a fundamental Hindu religious guru.

Lt. Manabendra Bhattacharyya is a senior journalist and a fine actor

who was involved in almost 50 productions of the group, both stage and

street, across the state. As a film actor, he enacted a prominent

character in the recently released Assamese feature film Aei Matitee.

The play will be a showcase as a dedication to his life.
