Meghnath- A Theatre Tent Production
In the smoke of power, a prophecy bleeds.
MEGHNATH - where Shakespeare's Macbeth wakes up in Bengal, wearing the colours of Indian politics.
I witnessed murder not in a castle, but in a constituency.
Ambition not in a crown, but in a party flag.
Guilt not in a dagger, but in every headline of today’s India.
Theatre Tent doesn't just stage Macbeth - they dissect it. They show us how prediction becomes conspiracy, how power becomes blood, how revenge becomes our daily news. A Bengali adaptation that is so Shakespeare, yet so violently current, so political, so Indian.
From the witches of the whispering media to the Banquo of betrayed ideals - every character felt like someone we voted for, fought for, feared.
As a photographer, I didn’t just capture light. I captured the moment when theatre becomes truth.

Indian Political Theatre at its rawest.
Have you ever seen Shakespeare in a kurta-pajama and political rally?
