Girish Karnad (1938), is a prolific playwright who has enriched the Indian drama by virtue of his dramatic genius. By making his drama contemporarily relevant, he has got success in creating a national theatre for India. Being an actor, playwright, writer, movie director, scriptwriter and translator, he has become a multidimensional personality. His originality as a dramatist lies in his extraordinary skill of using myth, history and folktale to make the drama lively, thought provoking and gripping. The present book is a collection of 22 scholarly papers that not only highlight different facets concerning the themes and techniques of Karnad’s plays but also bring out the undiscovered inner dramatic landscapes that open the new vistas for further search and research.
