is an actor/writer based in New York City.

He won the Drama Desk Ensemble Award for his work in Obie-winning and Pulitzer-nominated “Public Obscenities”, the first Bengali/English bilingual play Off-Broadway.

As a writer, his work is inspired by the types of films he loves– Perfect Days, A Separation, Nomadland, Cure, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai– stories that unfurl at their own pace, and teach us something about life.

MONOLOGUE

Press

  • “Haque…navigates these burdensome complexities with touching humanity and intelligence…uniformly excellent cast."

    Juan Ramirez, The New York Times (Critic’s Pick)

  • “Haque accomplishes a particularly striking physical transformation…In early scenes, (Haque) is forever cringing from insecurity and nerves…toward the end…(Haque) has undergone a change…(his character) stands straight and proud, and Haque, a beautiful, muscular fellow, is an image to behold.”

    David Cote, 4ColumnsMag

  • “Some of the best aspects of ‘Public Obscenities’ have to do with the interactions of (Haque) and (Powell)…The unspoken acts of acceptance and forgiveness between them give the play admirable heft.”

    Peter Marks, Washington Post
