Description
Volume I ‘Listen, for I speak …’ Thus embarks the clown on a journey in search for ‘who am I?’ Narrated in the manner of the Arabian Nights, albeit over thirty nights, the engaging dialogue between the clown and the playwright unfolds the course of Marathi theatre which has a rich, vibrant, and diverse history of over 175 years. Beginning with the staging of the first Marathi play, this volume looks at the period from 1843 to 1947. The period witnessed the commencement of renaissance in Maharashtra; the encounter with the European project of modernity and the intense anti-colonial struggle that followed; the social reform movement in Maharashtra; and the overthrow of the British rule.

This volume looks at the plays that came in the three decades after Independence, that is, between 1947 and 1975. The period, also known as the golden period of Marathi theatre, was a complex mixture of hope and struggle, of new social movements and the rise of cynicism.
