About the Book

Ek Dui Tin (Bengali Version) is a compelling collection of stage-worthy plays by the award-winning playwright, director, and lyricist Subodh Talukdar. Known for his diverse contributions to Bengali literature and theatre, the author presents a volume designed especially for amateur theatre groups seeking engaging and performance-friendly dramatic works.

The centerpiece of the collection is the three-part play Ek Dui Tin, which traces a powerful historical and ideological journey across three different eras. The first segment draws inspiration from the mythological sacrifice of Dadhichi, whose selfless act symbolizes the triumph of collective welfare over individual interests. The second segment moves to the era of India’s freedom struggle, commemorating the courage and sacrifice of revolutionaries such as Khudiram Bose, Prafulla Chaki, and countless others who dedicated their lives to the cause of independence. The final segment reflects on the post-independence period, examining how later generations have responded to the ideals and aspirations inherited from their predecessors.

In addition to Ek Dui Tin, the volume includes two more plays, Mrityudaptar and Bhut-Darpan, each offering distinct themes, dramatic styles, and emotional tones. Together, these works provide a rich theatrical experience encompassing history, social reflection, satire, and human values. The collection is an excellent resource for theatre practitioners, students, drama enthusiasts, and readers interested in contemporary Bengali dramatic literature.
