A new theatre group called 'Bottola' was formed recently. A break-away group of theatre activists who worked in the theatre group 'Subachan' have formed this new group with the aim of strengthening theatre activities.

'We are delighted to inform you that a new theatre troupe has been formed with some energetic young and skilled theatre activists of the country's theatre arena with unique vision, aesthetic and -creative goals,' says Mizanur Rahman, chief executive of Bottola. The organisers hope that members of the group will be able to prove their talent more professionally and skilfully.

Terming the new group as a platform both for the aspiring and experienced theatre activists, Rahman says, 'we will welcome the theatre-loving people who will be interested in using this platform.

We will work to create a platform which will uphold professionalism in theatre activities.'

About their next programme, the chief executive informs this correspondent that they have already started working on different scripts.

'Among the scripts, we are studying seriously a script of Abdullah Hel Mahmud,' he says. One of the founding members of Bottola, Samina Luthfa, says that the name of the group Bottola indicates its openness. 'It is created with the aim of working more sincerely and professionally.

This platform will help the theatre activists to practise theatre more skilfully. It will create an opportunity to expose the ability of its members,' Luthfa hopes. She further hopes that the new theatre group will give space to the students of theatre departments of the universities so that they can show their talent and all that they have learnt.
