A Season of Bangla Drama 2025

A Season of Bangla Drama, our unique and acclaimed theatre festival, returns this November and this year’s theme is ‘Kindness’  

The festival showcases eleven new productions examining what kindness means from different perspectives. Themes include:

• kindness seen through the eyes of migrants
• the kindness of caring for our own wellbeing
• how kindness and empathy can have a positive impact in our communities, in both quiet unseen gestures as well as in rebellious acts.

The programme includes drama and comedy, conversation, music and songs.

A Season of Bangla Drama champions new writing and provides a platform for debut performances. The performances will resonate with East London audiences. Performances are in a mixture of Bangla, Sylheti and English.

The festival takes place 1 to 30 November with performances taking place at The Brady Arts Centre and Pinter Studios, QMUL. There is also a fringe programme of events including art workshops, exhibitions, talks and walks.

Tickets go on sale early October.
