Bohurupee is a Bengali premier theatre group. Bohurupee was founded in 1948[3] by several active members who left the Indian People's Theatre Association. The group was created to present the experimental Bengali drama in unusual form.[4]

Early days

After breaking away from Indian People's Theatre Association, prominent Bengali theatre personalities like Sombhu Mitra, Bijon Bhattacharya created Bohurupee in 1948. The group came into prominence as a composite drama form. This period was a period of struggle for Bohurupee.[4] Between 1950 to 1958 they directed multiple important plays. They staged Rabindranath Tagore's play 'Char Adhyay' in 1951. In 1958 they stage another work of Tagore - Raktakaravi.[4] In Putulkhela (1958), which was a depiction of Ibsen's Doll's House, Bohurupee touched a sensitive contemporary issue in bold manner.
