The anthology of essays deal with India’s most important contemporary dramatists: Vijay Tendulkar, Badal Sircar, Girish Karnad, Mahasweta Devi, Manjula Padmanabhan and Mahesh Dattani. This critical assessment of their work presents insightful perspectives relating to portrayal of women and feminism, gender discrimination, search for completeness, the theme of protest of anger, violence and social empathy, and the human predicament. The protagonists of the plays are examined in detail. It also includes comparative studies such as of Badal Sircar’s Procession with Wole Soyinka’s The Road in the context of postcolonial trends in theatre.
