As told by the Theatre Festival 2023 creative director Riken Ngomle, who is also a professor at National School Of Drama ( NSD ), there will be three different plays which will be taking place on 13th, 16th and 19th of February, 2023. “With thorough research and analysis, the plays are structured in an accurate manner and to maintain the authenticity, we have hired local actors of Dambuk, Namsai and Longding district to play the roles through auditions at the aforementioned places.” Ngomle said.
