The tempo of the play “Banaprastha” increases rapidly, as the suspense and the family drama captured my imagination.  The acting is superb, with the performers deeply engrossed in the Stanislavsky method. The script is woven into the fabric of the conflict between the Past and the Present.  Sudipta Bhawmik painstakingly researched the material, which also adds to the play's unabashed realism.  With tiny bits of  sprinkled wit, "Banaprastha" deserved to be seen by a wider Bengali and English-speaking audience.
