| Summary, etc |
This book addresses the political and aesthetic concerns of modern Indian theatre, tracing its genealogies, and looking in particular at its appropriation of folk theatre. Beginning with the plays of Bharatendu Harishchandra in the 1870s Banaras, the book moves forward to Jayashankar Prasad and Mohan Rakesh, landmark figures in the history of modern Indian theatre. In addition, it brings to light the intense urban interaction with folk theatre forms, their politicization in the 1940s and later again in the 1970s. Inspired by the urban interest in folk theatre and Brecht’s influence on theatre, the book throws light on ‘Brecht in Hindi’. Looking at the politics of the modern Indian theatre and the actions and reactions inspired by official policymaking in the capital of the nation and its international representation, this book maps the creative routes of some of the avant-garde women directors since the last decade of the twentieth century. |
