The Producer Neel Bannerjee tells us that the stage production is an adaptation by internationally-acclaimed playwright, Craig Higginson. It also features amazing shadow puppets and scintillating music. Designed and directed by Joyraj Bhattacharjee and co-directed by Sue Wallace, this will be a true cross-cultural collaboration. This powerful and magical version of a much-loved classic is as resonant now as it was when it first appeared .
