The Play
 
Inspired by the fictitious character of Sherlock Holmes, Byomkesh Bakshi was created as the intelligent, mystery-loving and mystery-solving detective of Bengali literature. Similar to Holmes who had his companion in Watson, Byomkesh also cultivates the friendship of Ajit Bandhopadhyay who is his perennial fellow adventurer on his quest to solve mysteries and murders. Holmes and Byomkesh had one major difference - the former was disinterested in women and stayed a bachelor, while Byomkesh meets his life-partner Satyabati and eventually marries her. The play Byomkesh presents the life and times of one of the greatest fictitious character of crime thrillers. It unveils the mysteries, intricacies and compulsions, motives and hidden agendas of human relationships, and simultaneously throws light on the baser instincts as well as the higher aspirations and values of human beings.
