Shishir Kumar Bhaduri or Sisir Kumar Bhaduri (2 October 1889 – 30 June 1959) was an Indian stage actor and theatre founder, commonly referred to as the pioneer of modern Bengali theatre. He was an actor, director, playwright and scenic designer.[1]
After Girish Chandra Ghosh, he introduced realism and naturalism to theatre.[2] He was awarded the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honour by the Government of India in 1959.[3] He refused the award, saying that if he accepted it would send a wrong signal that the Government has helped to promote theatre culture in the country.
Born in Mednipore, West Bengal,[1] he studied at Scottish Church College Kolkata, where he began participating in theatre. He was also a professor of Metropolitan College (today's Vidyasagar College). In 1921, he left his job to become a full-time stage actor.
The 2013 play Nihsanga Samrat, directed by Debesh Chattopadhyay, is based on the 2005 Bengali novel of the same name, written by Sunil Gangopadhyay, on the life of Bhaduri.[2]
