Birpurush (drama)

Birpurush is a 2010 Bengali drama[1] staged by Kolkata based theatre group Swapnasandhani and directed by Kaushik Sen.[2][3] The drama is inspired by Rabindranath Tagore's poem Birpurush, it was not a children's play (though it was misinterpreted like that).

The story was based on contemporary social and political condition of West Bengal.

[2] A wounded soldier and a Maoist get trapped in a forest and there they both claim to be Birpurush (brave man).

[4] There were some characters like 'Kishen Kanhaiya', 'Buddhadesh' and 'Monmohinidesh' which mocked real life personalities.

In this play Kaushik Sen acted as himself and it is a self-critical character.
