Thespian Adventures

Over the last few years, I have started an informal group called "Sahitya Anuragi Natya Mandali" or literature-loving drama group. We seek to promote classical Odia plays and/or dramatized short stories in various settings. Here are a couple of our recent performances.

1. Patent Medicine by Fakir Mohan Senapati -- Our version blends Gopal Chotray's dramatized version with Akshyaya Mohanty's gitinatya version (Shrimati Samarjani). Normally, people lip-sync to the latter. We actually speak our lines and sing the songs.

2. Dui Dahara Sahityika by Fatura Nanda This version combines two of Fatura Nanda's satirical short stories into a single skit.

Each of these plays is ~20 minutes. I hope you will enjoy them!
