“Tarasundari was not just a remarkable actress but a symbol of courage and grace who refused to bow to social stigma. Bringing her story to life is my tribute to her indomitable spirit. With Theatre Plus, I would like to continue telling stories that celebrate the lives of cultural icons and the richness of Indian literature. This is a dream production, and it will be staged across the country,” said Ms. Gargee Roychowdhury, Actress & Founder, Theatre Plus.
