Subrata Das’ Rape, Regret, and Retribution

Stage Ensemble Theatre (SETU) and NetSAP-Boston will present the premiere of Subrata Das’ play, Rape, Regret and Retribution, an artistic rendition of a twisted tale. Written and directed by Subrata Das and featuring a cast of 12, the production runs for three consecutive nights from May 29 until the 31st at the Arlington Center for the Arts, 41 Foster Street, Arlington, MA.

The portrayal and ramification of a life-changing event is at the heart of this play that unfolds in the main character’s dream. The main character, Jiten, living a life of conflicted self-interests and lack of tradition, leaves his wife, Karuna, and family in a small village in West Bengal to move to the big city, Calcutta, where he lives as he pleases. Not long thereafter, he becomes the center of a horrible crime, the rape and death of a young girl, Meena, destroying two families, the Banerjee and Mehta families, who come from completely different social strata. Jiten’s ordeal thereafter and death sentence culminate the play, until he awakes from his slumber.
