Quixotic Wonderland

Directed by Bijon Mondal

Quixotic Wonderland combines two timeless classics – Cervantes` Don Quixote and Lewis Carroll`s Alice in Wonderland. In this exciting new story the Queen of Wonderland has started a reign of evil in alliance with Jabberwocky, the monster, while Alice and Don Quixote are destined to restore peace in Wonderland. This melange of two fantastical worlds gives rise to an extravaganza of colour music and magic which is a treat for children.

Two Blind Mice

Directed by Chandan Roy Sanyal

An adaptation of scene 1 of Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot”, Vladimir and Estragon wait under a tree for a person named Godot. This tragi-comedy reflects the world view of the 1950’s and the philosophical vacuum that existed in the aftermath of World War 2. Beckett’s renowned play is made fun and accessible to youngsters, who connect with its nonsensical topsy-turvy illogicality.
