Among prolific playwrights, Moliere is a household name in comedy. Adaptation of one of his most famous works, The Miser , translated as Kanjoosh has been a landmark production in the history of theatre in Bangladesh. Premiered in 1987, Kanjoosh is the most staged play of the country. With a gap of a year due to the coronavirus outbreak, Loko Natyadal (Banani) returned on stage with this play, at the Nilima Ibrahim Auditorium of Bangladesh Mahila Samity in Dhaka. This production has been adapted by Tariq Anam Khan and directed by Kamrun Nur Chowdhury.
