Description

The three modern Indian plays brought together here are established classics, all written around the mid-1960s.

Girish Karnad's Tughlaq was originally written in Kannada and explores the psyche of a medieval monarch.

Evam Indrajit, by Badal Sircar, originally written in Bengali, uses myth to examine some of the dilemmas of the Indian middle classes.

Girish Karnad has here translated this and his own work into English.

Violence and the sexual compulsion that lies behind the facade of respectability is the theme of Vijay Tendulkar's Silenced, originally written in Marathi and here translated by Priya Adarkar.
