Influential Indian dramatist and theatre director Badal Sircar’s plays are known for their simple, entertaining stories that communicate social ideas and messages with a contemporary relevance. Over the years, his works have influenced filmmakers and theatre directors alike and have been adapted by theatre companies across the country. But rarely have his works been staged by children. However, this is set to change.

Kids aged between seven and 14 will stage Beyond The Land Of Hattamala on June 5 at Prithvi Theatre
