Claiming singularity with respect to thematic range, the volume in hand is an anthology of theatre thinking-statements of such people connected with contemporary theatre of India as playwrights, directors, actors, designers, critics, etc. Comprising insightful perceptions, meaningful concepts, theoretical formulations, here is wisdom born of experience-gleaned mostly from first-hand interaction with celebrities and authorities as a part of field work for a UGC project, “Theatre India Today: Towards a new Dramaturgy”.
This assortment aims at catering to the needs and concnerns of those who are actively enaged in theatre arts creatively, critically, academically, pedagogically, aesthetically, on the levels of both theory and practice. Indeed, while it could serve, on the on one hand, as a reference manual for Scholars, researchers, reviewers and critics of performing arts, it might benefit, on the other, theatre buffs and lay readers interested in art, culture, aesthetics in general. If the students of the theatre, literature and arts are going to find the contents useful as introductory or supplementary reading, the teachers might find them handy in raising and moderating class-room discussions. Foreign readers are also likely to be interested in knowing what the current exponents of theatre arts in India (once the world-guru in the field) have to say about all kinds of relevant issues. Above all, this book is bound to engage the attention of those lovers of theatre who are fond of brooding over the future of theatre, theatre of tomorrow, and the evolution of the new dramaturgy. In short, the work deserves price of place in the personal collections as well as public libraries.
