The Redemption

A Play by Sudipta Bhawmik
This play is about Subimal who, once an active naxalite, had to flee his own country and come to America in search of a new life. Although Subimal did find a new life for himself, his past always haunted him, a past which he had always kept a deep secret. Suddenly, one day this secret starts to reveal itself to his son Somu from a long lost diary. Somu, a Harvard junior, is extremely curious to know the details of his father's past, wants to know more about the Naxalite movement. But he never could have guessed the kind of murky and deep waters he is getting into. Subimal tried to prevent the inevitable, but his failure to do so ultimately leads him to his redemption. The play was staged at the New York International Fringe Festival in 2005 at the Dixon Place.
The Bengali version of the play (KaalSuddhi), also written and directed by Sudipta Bhawmik was staged at the New Jersey, New York and Toronto, Canada stages and received great accolades from the audience.
