Synopsis:
An original play set in the backdrop of the war in Iraq, “Ron” examines from a unique perspective the conflicts and tribulations of immigrant families as they try to assimilate into the ways of American life.

Ron (Ronobir) Mitra, son of a Bengali immigrant family, is

a member of the US Army National Guard and is currently deployed in Iraq. Ron’s parents, Animesh and Shanti, although not happy with Ron’s decision to join the US Army, respected Ron’s wishes to serve his nation. However, Ron’s deployment to active duty in Iraq has been a constant source of tension and anxiety. On the day of the play, at a small get together at Animesh’s place, Surojit Biswas, a writer and journalist from Kolkata challenges Animesh and his guests about their loyalty, their beliefs and their fundamental moral values. The party rapidly goes into a tailspin with each character exposing their secret wars that they have been fighting all along.

  2. Wish you all the best Sudipto! We miss watching your plays and listening to Mitali’s music. Hope you will both have the opportunity to come and perform in Dallas sometime in the near future. Wishing you yet another successful run for “RON”.
