Drama is also one of the important means of recreation in Bangladesh. There are two kinds of theatres in our country-viz. Jatra and theatre. Jatra is the folk theatre. It is extremely popular in the villages of Bangladesh as well as amongst common people living in the urban areas. Winter is the best season for jatra, when performances of mythological or historical plays and social melodramas interspersed with interludes of dances and songs are presented, often through the whole night.In Bangladesh, theater got a new lease of life after the independence of the country in 1971. Though almost all plays are staged in Bangla, the range of play rights is varied from local stalwarts to Brecht or Sophocles. Some of the more famous theater groups include: Dhaka Theater,Nagarik,Arranyak,Nadonik,Dhaka Padatik,Nadanik.
Famous Drama personalities include Abdullah-Al-Mamun, Ramendu Majumder, Mamunur Rashid, Nasiruddin Yussuf, Humayun Faridi, Fardousi Majumder, Suborna Mustafa and others.
