Bengali Theatre primarily refers to theatre performed in the Bengali Language. Bengali Theatre is produced mainly in West Bengal, and in Bangladesh. Bengali Theatre has its Origins in British Rule. It began as a Private Entertainment in the early 19th Century. But, William Shakespeare came in the Bengali Theatre in the 19th Century through the hands of Girish Ghosh, a remarkable Personality in the Bengali Theatre. My Paper deals with “William Shakespeare and the Bengali Theatre in the 19th Century Calcutta”. The Central Arguments of My Dissertation includes three things:- • The “Indianization” of William Shakespeare. • William Shakespeare as a Heterogeneous One rather than being a Homogeneous One, and • The Liberties that the Bengali Theatre have taken to adapt William Shakespeare in their own Language(Bengali).

Theatre, Private entertainment, Indianization, Heterogeneous.
