About The Event
A hilarious tale of mistaken identities and confused characters, ‘Taskar Brittanto’ (The virtuous Burglar, originally titled ‘Non tutti i ladri vengono per nuocere’), is a one-act play written by famous Italian playwright Dario Fo. It is adapted into Bengali by Sri Amitabh Dutta, a renowned theater personality in Kolkata, and directed by Dr. Tanumay Datta.
A skillful burglar enters a rich man’s flat assuming it is empty only to find to his utter surprise that the house owner, an influential and politically powerful person, is having an extramarital affair. The plot thickens when the wife of the burglar as well as the wife of the house owner enters the scene. Damage control attempts on the owner’s part create a night of wild misunderstandings and complete confusion. ‘Taskar Brittanto’ (The virtuous Burglar) is a farcical comedy that exposes the lies and deceptions in the seemingly perfect life of the elite upper class.
