Produktbeschreibung
In this, his first play collection published in English, Majumdar's work can be appreciated by new audiences as a focus of performance and study. With an introduction by long-time collaborator Sundar Sarukkai, the anthology cements his place as an important and necessary voice in contemporary drama. Internationally celebrated author and theatre maker Abhishek Majumdar has worked across the world as a playwright, theatre director, and scenographer. His plays capture the fragility of human lives trapped in war and other upheavals and in doing so present a wide range of theatrical experience. Infusing retellings of contemporary events with timeless themes, Majumdar threads together explorations of authoritarianism, radicalization, and the sense of belonging: both intimate and far-reaching in scope, these are plays that blend together the personal with the universal.
