Vijay Tendulkar has been in the vanguard of Indian theatre for almost 40 years. This play, translated from the original Marathi, is one of his most gripping, socially relevant ones.
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. Both of these plays are translated into English by Girish Karnad.
This Is A Stark Commentary On The Nature Of Romantic Love-Both Heterosexual And Homosexual. Gowri Ramnarayan`S Spontaneous And Fluent Translation Makes This Play Eminently Readable.
"These two plays by the legendary Vijay Tendulkar are a critique of Indian society and the reality surrounding the playwright. Once intended to be his last play, The Cyclist is a skilfully crafted, uninterrupted, single piece about the adventure of life told through a cyclist's journey. Apart from being a journey in geographical terms, it is a psychological exploration of the protagonist's mind. His Fifth Woman, a prequel to Tendulkar's Sakhararn Binder (1972), brings to play the injustices and inequalities suffered by women in the man-woman relationship. The exploration of death and the afterlife is replete with humour and insight. These two plays are a welcome addition to the theatre lover's collection, and, as highly theatrical pieces, will be of interest to theatre actors, directors, and students."--BOOK JACKET.
