<br />
==Early days==<br />
After breaking away from [[Indian People's Theatre Association]], prominent Bengali theatre personalities like [[Sombhu Mitra]], [[Bijon Bhattacharya]] created Bohurupee in 1948. The group came into prominence as a composite drama form. This period was a period of struggle for Bohurupee.<ref name="Greatness of spirit : profiles of Indian Magsaysay Award winners" /> Between 1950 and 1958 they directed multiple important plays. They staged [[Rabindranath Tagore]]'s play ''Char Adhyay'' in 1951. In 1958, they stage another work of Tagore - ''Raktakaravi''.<ref name="Greatness of spirit : profiles of Indian Magsaysay Award winners" /> In ''Putulkhela'' (1958), which was a depiction of [[Ibsen]]'s ''Doll's House'', Bohurupee touched a sensitive contemporary issue in bold manner. They adapted various international plays viz. ''Dasachakra'' (1962), which was adapted from ''[[An Enemy of the People]]'' by [[Henrik Ibsen]] and ''Raja Oedipous'' (1964), an adaptation of ''[[Oedipus Rex]]'' by [[Sophocles]].<br />
