Theatre in Bangladesh will be closer to the television viewers very soon. Kotha O Kahini will be producing these Tele-theatre shows, where a number of theatre productions are going to be telecast both at home and abroad. About 20 popular theatre productions from Bangladesh will be screened on ETV Bangla and out of these, seven have been adapted by Kotha O Kahini production house itself.

The producer of this Tele-theatre for ETV Bangla Neema Rahman remarked that such television shows have never been aired in Bangladesh and this is a huge achievement. Kotha O Kahini will be telecasting 52 Tele-theatre productions for ETV Bangla, out of which 20 are ready to be telecast.

The director of the Tele-theatre Banti says through this concept, several theatre productions will be popularised and TV viewers will get to have a closer look at them.
