Masum Reza's playJolbalikadepicts the story of the village dwellers whose lives are interwoven with the river. The playwright also lashes out against the ills of rural society such as gender inequality. Depicting the complete lifestyle of the rural life including romance, pathos and others, the question he raises is: Who is more important for a rural family--a son or a daughter?

Directed by Shamsul Alam Bakul, Padatik Natyashongshod's current production Jolbalika will be staged today at the Experimental Theatre Stage at 6:30 p.m. as part of the drama festival arranged by Theatre.
