- Adapted from Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” by playwright Padmanabha Dasgupta, “Godhuli Gagan” e is also the first directorial venture of Padmanabha. Dasgupta Dasgupta, a prolific writer for both Bengali theatre and cinema, has been recently adding to his significant body of work considerably through both original plays and translations. “Godhuli Gagan”e is his latest in this line. “Godhuli Gagan” e strives to capture a forgotten world, an elapsed time where once, lived and loved, ordinary citizens of our great city. It encapsulates a humble neighbourhood where men and women go about their mundane existence while the everlasting cycle of life embraces their loves and losses. Those neighbourhoods and alleyways, the low walls and high ceilings disappeared somewhere down the labyrinths of cyber space as dish TV and cellular networks replaced the simple joys of transistor radios and black and white television. Godhuli Gagan e attempts to portray the agony and ecstasy of that lost generation.
The simple two storey houses of the sixties and seventies have slowly been replaced by fancy high rises. The chirping of sparrows and the staccato hammering of coal being broken down for clay ovens have been traded for the relentless ringing of millions of mobiles. Yet, inspite of it all, a huge yellow moon still continues to climb the night sky slowly but surely. As it looks down upon the artificial white lights and neon lamps, maybe it smiles a quiet smile. For the moon has seen it all, the past, the present and will carry on watching this ever changing circle called life, eternally.
