Excerpt from the website: Chowdhury shares an excerpt of his play-in-progress, Public Obscenities, and participates in a virtual conversation via Zoom. As Chowdhury told NYFA, “This year, with the gift of time Soho Rep’s given me, I’m writing a play that’s been brewing in me for over a decade. It’s a bilingual play, called Public Obscenities, in Bengali and English, inspired by a dream my uncle once had. In the dream, he was in a movie theatre. And he described the movie to me in meticulous detail. And then he said: ‘you’re the artist, go make it’.” Check out an excerpt of the play here. Read More.
