The Promise (প্রতিশ্রুতি)

 

This play is inspired by an episode of Khaled Hosseini’s novel “And the Mountains Echoed”.

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

In প্রতিশ্রুতি (the Promise), Asmaan, the protagonist, takes us on a journey that transcends boundaries of place and time to seek an answer to this question. How many miles will Asmaan have to go before he is able to reconcile with his inner conflicts and sleep?

Written and directed by Sandip Mazumder, Onnyo Theater of Columbus will present this heart-wrenching drama in Fest O’ Theatre 2018.
