Kala Suri Dharmasiri Bandaranayake (born 06th of October 1949) is a Sri Lankan Film director and playwright.〔http://sundaytimes.lk/100808/Plus/plus_19.html〕 Bandaranyake's debut ''Hansa Vilak'' in 1980 dealt with facets of a society at odds with itself. His other films like Thunveni Yamaya (1983), Suddilage Kathaawa (1984), ''Bawa Duka'' and ''Bawa Karma'' (1997) followed similar themes. ''Bawa Duka'' and ''Bawa Karma'' challenged the repressive dogma of Buddhism in Sri Lanka.〔http://www.sundayobserver.lk/2008/05/25/imp11.asp〕 Common arcs in Bandaranayake's films follow the conflicted lives of men and women, transformation of private lives into public affairs, the unpleasant reality of marriage and society and the dark side of human desire. Dharmasiri Bandaranayake is an acclaimed dramatist and his plays are the best that Sri Lankan theatre has seen. Eka Adhipathi, Makarakshaya, 'Dhawala Bheeshana', 'Yakshagamanaya' and 'Trojan Kanthavo' have all dealt with current issues of national and political importance.〔http://sundaytimes.lk/100613/Magazine/sundaytimestvtimes_10.html〕 He is an artist who attempts to connect the sociopolitical environment with the civil society through art. =="Trojan Kanthawo"== In 1999, Bandaranyake first staged the play ''Trojan Kanthawo'' which adapted Euripides' Greek drama ''The Trojan Women'' for a Sinhala and Tamil audience. It is meant as an anti-war statement and proved to be controversial with the Sri Lankan government despite critical acclaim. Bandaranayake received several death threats in 2001 after he made plans to stage the play in predominantly Tamil areas. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dharmasiri Bandaranayake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
