Frankly Speaking’s Priyo Pathshala
Priyo Pathshala—a powerful play presented by Frankly Speaking theater group, proved that Kolkata continues to have plenty of rich talent, and innovative ideas. Whether it was the movable sets, or the special effects created through shadow play, it sent out chilling, telling signals.
The theme—a jobless young man gets a position as a primary school teacher in a remote village, which has been devastated by a cyclone. The prime players in this whole drama are a committed headmaster, Abhaypada Banerjee, his comely, yet cut and dried daughter, Taposhi and the urban young man Tamal. When Tamal arrives at Badolpur station, he is met by none other than the headmaster himself. He takes Tamal to his own home, lit only by kerosene lamps, until other lodgings are found, and there he is looked after by Taposhi, as the wife and other child have taken themselves off to the big city.
Arriving at the school and not finding any students is the first big element of drama, which then unfolds with plenty of pathos, humor and more elements of surprise.
