Written by Badruzzaman Alamgir and directed by Imran Khan, the production delivers a taut, haunting meditation on memory, loss and the long, bruising weight of waiting.
Alamgir describes the play as a reflection on the uneven burdens that societies place on their most vulnerable members.
The production has been lauded for its compelling portrayal of Khona's defiance against patriarchal norms and her quest for equality.
