Book Description:

নাটক সমগ্র ২ (Natak Samagra 2) continues the legacy of the renowned Bengali actor and playwright, Soumitra Chatterjee. Born on January 19, 1935, in Krishnanagar, he became a giant in the world of Bengali cinema and theatre, with his remarkable portrayal in Satyajit Ray's Apu Trilogy and numerous other films. Soumitra was not only a legendary actor but also a prolific writer and a passionate participant in Bengali theatre.

This second volume of his theatrical works brings together an important collection of his plays, reflecting his diverse talents both as a playwright and as a performer. His involvement in Bengali theatre and his profound contributions to dramatic literature make this work an essential addition for theatre enthusiasts.

Alongside his celebrated film career, Soumitra's deep connection with the stage is a cornerstone of his legacy. His performances in plays such as Raja Lear continue to be remembered fondly by theatre lovers. The volume also sheds light on his role as a poet, editor of Ekkhon magazine, and his unique poetic sensibilities.

নাটক সমগ্র ২ is an invaluable literary treasure for those who admire the fusion of literature and theatre in Bengali culture. It is also a poignant reminder of Soumitra Chatterjee’s enduring influence on the arts, as he passed away on November 15, 2020
