After Making History in Bangladesh, She’s Getting Applause in New York
When Shayok Misha Chowdhury wrote the character of Shou for his new bilingual play, “Public Obscenities,” about a couple who interviews queer locals in Kolkata, India, he was “super worried” about casting the role. The performer would not only need to be of the appropriate gender but also a Bangla speaker with the right “linguistic fluency”to capture the character, who speaks “exuberantly and forthrightly and confidently,” he told me recently.
