Mikhail Saltikav Schedrin was one of the greatest Russian writer who adopted satire  most effectively in the field  of literature. He was one of the favourite writer of Lenin. The  Drama “The Story of two Masters  ” has been adopted from one of  his compositions entitled ‘Tales’.

 

The two masters,a retired Politician and a  retired Police Officer while listening to a Hawker, sudedenly reached an unknown island named ’Titirmou’. In that serene bouyant holyland they came in contact with the simple folk & discovered that abstisence from work is a crime and that every one has equal share in the golden harvest in the earth .

 

How the two masters could acquiesce in a situation of this nature ? So they adopted a Strategy . Specially youth of that holyland beaming life and vigour, who worked hard on land were allured to temtation. How this triggered off an  intriguining episode and what ends the two masters met when the “Wise man” of the island stepped in. ?

What do they unfold for our modern society?

SYNOPSIS: 

 GNAN BRIKSHER FOL is a transrelocation and a transposition of the play's content in terms of its geography, language, culture, and time. He play is in Santipur, a small town in Bengal. Somewhere during the beginning of the 20th century

It is a black comedy where the 'black' and 'comic' have been fused so beautifully that the audience, as it splits its sides with laughter also understands the difference between the powerful and weak, the rich and the poor, the 'intelligent' and the 'fool'. It is a social satire and a political comment on the two faces of power - the power of the haves against the powerlessness of the have nots.

The lay have several layers. The first layer is filed with Ahibhusan, the Zamindar and his intellectual coterie sucked into their world of communication with the dead. The second world is Ahibhusan's family consisting of his hypochondriac wife, Kolkata obsessed son, so-called college educated daughter and the third layer comprises the deprived, the marginalized and oppressed servants, maids farmers, porter etc.

The intelligent maid of Zamindar, Mrittika who has been eavesdropping on the planchette sessions, tricks Ahibhusan into talking her in he place of the professional medium. She makes Ahibhusan give away six bighas of land he had promised a year ago to a group of poor peasants. Ahibhusan's dead father 'appears' again through Mrittika and insists that his son keep his promise of giving out six bighas of land to the farmers at a throw away price. By the time Ahibhusan realizes that he has en tricked, it is too late.

SYNOPSIS: 

It was merely tryst with destiny for Gagan, a lorry driver, when about 18 years ago he came across Sita, insulted and tormented in her well-established groom's house, desperatelv trying to commit suicide with her lap-baby. Gagan hopped down from his vehicle and saved Sita and her little baby. In course of time, these uneven lives get emotionally locked with each other. Tender love and affection spring spontaneously in the simple susceptible heart of Gagan, passionately reciprocated by his growing sensitive `daughter' Jhinuk. But even then Sita could hardly forget her former ego. And so the inevitable Nemesis casts it appalling shadow one day. Sita, Gagan and Jhinuk have to bleed upon the thorns of cruel realities, when Jiban, the loyal assistant of Gagan, or Debu betrothed to Jhinuk stand taken aback and feel only the surface of the tragedy. A new emotion of love and trust then ushers in from that moribund family structure to fill the void. It matters little whether the age old society is ready to accept the iconoclastic truth. But an emotional response to meet the challenge of a bolder reaponsibility gets the better of all obstacles.

SYNOPSIS: 
"The past is never dead, it's not even a past" - it is this realization that brings back Haimanti, one of the daughters of Anandamohah Chakraborty, from the human-jungle of Mumbai, to her native place in a suburban town of Bengal. Six

years ago, she was ostracized from this township and banished by her parents to her uncle's residence in Mumbai, in order to hush up a scandal, nay, the ravishing of her woman-hood by notorious gangster.

Has she come back for vengeance? Well, that is a different issue altogether. That she is allowed to put up in one of the rooms of this palatial house for a day or two, is due to the mercy of her father who has softened a great deal over the years. But Haimanti is in no need of mercy or pity anymore. She is bitter. She is strong and She is rich. The six hellish years in Mumbai have taught her to walk steadily on way of the world. She has not come here to reconcile with those who have robbed her of the virginity of her "Soul". It is the questioning Haimanti who shocks the complacency of those who had taken her for granted. Her questions lay bare her very root - her one time abode. The rootless woman comes back to her "Roots". Just this, could have been the subject matter of our play, but it isn't. The play is concerned with the effort of this individual to analyse the Root and expose the "worms" that eat it up. How the domestic sphere and social forces contribute to this process is the subject matter of our play. It isn't the story of Haimanti alone. It is the story of woman's plight in man's world. It is the story of Man in a world dominated by those who, out of sheer habitat.

The ageold values give way to mechanical profit and loss calculations, the natural and normal relations break down.

In the face of odd time Soumyadeb, frantically groping in the dark once found out a ladder in his wife Ranita to reach the niche of success and he is now a 'successful' man at the cost of his spouse Ranita, whom time has metamorphosed into an ambitious ultramod­ern careerist.

Synopsis 

(Based on a Karnataka Folk Tale)

A folk tale, normally, is only one telling, held down in writing for the nonce till you or someone else reads it, brings it to life and' changes' it by retelling it. This Kannada tale was handed down to us and is selecting, arranging and adapting, we're inevitably reworked them somewhat: So, consider 'us' the latest teller and 'yourself' the latest listener, who in turn will retell the tale. Like a proverb, a story gains meaning in context.

The clever daughter-in-law in the Kannada folk Tale can tolerate everything but hunger. God looks after the poor and the hungry. But in this case, God, nay the goddess does not look after, she stares at the unfortunate bride while she gobbles her food ravenously. The Goddess not only stares, she puts one of her hands on her mouth to gesticulate her amazement: Thus starts an conflict between the mortal and Immortal which ends in the joy and the glory of the mortal.

But it is not the narrative that matters. Folklore pervades childhoods, families, and communities as the symbolic language of the nonliterate parts of the people and the culture. Even some years ago, even in the large modern city like Madras, Bombay or Calcutta [when Bombay was not Mumbai; Calcutta was not Kolkatta. Even western-style

neuclear families with their well-planned 2.2 children, folklore-proverbs, cullabies, folk medicine, folk tale - was only a suburb away, a cousin or grandmother away.

Wherever people live folklore grows, new jokes, proverbs, rhymes, tales and songs circulate in the oral tradition.

We know the new compus proverb "TO XEROX is to know"

Not to counter that not to outwit that, but to add to that we proclaim, " we listen to our grandmas and grandpas and we know - we know a lot.

It is not just a folk tale that we present--we combine "earthly wisdom" with an "airy fairy tale".

Synopsis 

SAANJHBELA:

Shrimoyee lives in a hilly region with her son and her daughter. But does she live with them at all? They come to structure her time and drive away her loneliness only during their vacations. Both of them spend the major part of the year in their respective hostels.

The name of their father is a taboo in Shrimoyee's house. We do not know why this is so, till the end

of the play, but we know at least this, Shrimoyee had walked out on her husband when her son and daughter were mere kids. She joined the local hospital as a nurse and now she is a matron of the same hospital.

At this juncture enters Alokesh, a -man from Shrimoyee's past - a past that runs way back to her early adolescence. He seems to be suffering from amnesia. But when the past is forgotten, the present becomes unforgettable. The appaling reality to which Shrimoyee and children wake up after the entry of Alokesh is the subject matter of the play.

Synopsis::

(Based on Rabindranath Tagore’s Short Play Muktir Upay)

It is a saga of two families. Fakirchand and Makhanlal, the two protagonists, have a common trait; both of them are irresponsible of their families. But Fakirchand is a pseudo-pandit and obstinately puritanin his family life, while his young wife Haimabati epitomizes youthful vivacity, humor and love for romantic fictions of Bankim Chandra. This leads to obvious clashes, the pleas of which Fakirchand leaves away his family and goes to a Baba or Saint who ultimately makes him his trustee transforming him to a Sannyashi (Monk).

Makhanlal is psychologically opposite. He is philanderer though he has two wives and seven children. He too is irresponsible and worthless. On the pleas of the criticism of his old father and his quarrelsome wives, Makhanlal also leave away his family and comes to Brindaban and marries again.

Both Fakirchand and Makhanlal meet in the end in Makhanlal’s old house at Nabagram after some funny episodes of misunderstanding and false identity. The two families reunite.

Synopsis :

Pinki is an urban adolescent studying in a convent school living in a nuclear family with her parents and her baby  brother. Buli is an adolescent who comes from the outskirts of  the city to baby-sit Pinki’s  brother. Buli is just what Pinki is not, she is illiterate, under-privileged and deprived. But , much to Pinki’s astonishment , Buli has a rich storehouse of imagination and folk lore which she has imbibed from her village. With this she can disarm the so-called conventional academics of Pinki. Pinki gets jealous of her with each passing day and Buli, with her tremendous zeal for learning, learns and apes the modes, manner and even the very lingo of Pinki. There is confusion in the house, there is tension and the complacent life of the family is shaken up. The parents, whose relationship was already in  a mess before the arrival of  Buli, go through even more biter phases. Nonetheless, Pinki vicariously travels to a world delightfully that she had never known before in spite of envying this girl of her age who comes from a very mean background. Finally, Buli leaves the house and we do not know what becomes of her, but Pinki grows up to be a author of eminence who narrates the story of her experience with Buli in her celebrated book “PINKI - BULI”.

An obscure old man plays a vital role in Pinki- Buli’s life who believes more in nature than Nurture when Nurturing  destroys, we have to go  back to Nature, is his Philosophy, So, is the philosophy of the Play.

Concept of the Play: 

Family norms and personal emotions do not always follow the same course. In most of the cases they maintain a conflicting relation which often leads to a severe damage in domestic life and relation. Ritwik Sen , an  environmental scientist of high repute and status and the central character of the play is heavily challenged in his professional life  in the issue of conservation of the environment in the true sense. On the other hand he has been suppressing a very personal and delicate episode of his life from his family for a long period of time. Ever mounting pressure from all corners breaks on him. His mental stability comes under stiff criticism. Shri.Sen slowly withdraws himself from all material happenings and gradually becomes silent. Finally truth unveils. ---- Ritwik Sen stands face to face with it because truth is ultimate and absolute.
