Tara Sundari is a powerful monodrama by acclaimed actor Gargee Roychowdhury, directed by Ujjwal Chattopadhyay, that brings to life the extraordinary journey of one of Bengal’s most iconic yet overlooked theatre legends.
Once hailed as a bold and versatile performer who excelled in both tragedy and comedy, Tara Sundari was not just an actress, she was a gifted singer, an expressive dancer, and a fearless woman who defied the conventions of her time. Through Gargee Roychowdhury’s riveting portrayal, the play aims to revisit her artistic brilliance, her courage to uphold dignity in a society that often ostracised women in theatre, and her enduring legacy as a symbol of grace and resilience.
With evocative music by Prabuddha Banerjee, striking stagecraft by Soumik Piyali, and immersive visual design, Tarasundari promises to be a moving tribute to a woman far ahead of her time.
This Theatre Plus production invites audiences to rediscover the golden era of Bengal’s stage, through the story of a legend who lived and performed with unmatched passion and strength.
