Ethic brings ‘Surongo’ to Syed Badruddin Hossain Memorial Theatre Fest

Ethic will stage its production of “Surongo” today (June 28) as part of the Syed Badruddin Hossain Memorial Theatre Festival and Memorial Award 2026. The performance will begin at 7:15 pm at the National Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, under the festival organised by Padatik Natya Sangsad.

Written by acclaimed Bangladeshi author Syed Waliullah and directed by Mintu Sarder, the play explores the timeless themes of greed, material desire and the human impulse to possess what belongs to others. Blending satire with social commentary, “Surongo” examines how the pursuit of wealth can shape—and distort—human relationships and morality.
