A faithful tribute to Parijat

‘Shirishko Phool’, being staged at Theatre Mall, Kirtipur, vividly brings the classic novel published almost 60 years ago into life on stage.

Suyogbir’s flat is dingy and dreary; sparse belongings, a coat hanger with a soldier’s uniform, and a table in the corner cloaked in darkness complete his abode. Suyogbir, played by Sanjaya Bishwakarma, longingly caresses his old soldier uniform. Abruptly, his suppressed anger and regret flash like a thunderstrike and he hurls his old uniform towards the table.
