Written by acclaimed Bangladeshi author Syed Waliullah and directed by Mintu Sarder, the play explores the timeless themes of greed, material desire and the human impulse to possess what belongs to others.

Marking the 31st death anniversary of legendary playwright and director Utpal Dutt on August 19, the Dhaka-based theatre troupe Ethic will honour his memory by staging one of his most celebrated plays, “Hari Phatibe”. The play's 83rd performance will take place on August 24 at 7pm at the Nilima Ibrahim Auditorium of Bangladesh Mahila Samity.
