What Happens When Three Men Battle for a Bench? Discover 'Park' in Kolkata!

Directed by Neelanjan, revolving around the sensitive age-old issue of territorial disputes with intense themes, a play titled Park by Manav Kaul is set to stage on October 20 at Padatik Little Theatre, 6:30 pm onwards.

It ultimately reflects on the nature of human existence and the challenges of carving out a personal space amidst societal and personal conflicts.
