SEASONS OF LOVE

A memory play about love and loss

Written by Ahon Gooptu

Three generations of a Bengali family—communicating between Kolkata and Chicago—struggle to find semblances of hope and connection despite the dementia and geography that threaten to separate them. Through their mutual love for Shakespeare, Rabindrasangeet, and a belief in the divine, the trinity attempts to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
