Adapted from a story by Kabita Sinha, Mohit Chattopadhyay’s drama “Mayer Moto” is all about Nalini, a freedom fighter’s wife and a widowed mother of three. Debabrata, the elder son, was sent to England for higher studies where he has lived for the last twenty five years oblivious of his mother and home land.

Daughter Subrata, Married to a trade union leader, basks in the reflected glory of her “NRI Dada” who has minted enough money buy an apartment in a posh locality of Kolkata and has shifted base from London as Debabrata’s only daughter Shila is about to get married to a young doctor well settled in India.

The youngest brother Priyobroto, less affluent of the three, is unpolpular for his indecent manners. The Play unfolds the complex relationships between the siblings and the changing equations with their mother Nalini.

Hashidi, a freedom fighter herself, enters like a flash of light and lends an interesting twist to the story.
