Girish Karnad, Badal Sircar, Vijay Tendulkar
This collection brings together three landmark Indian plays from the mid-1960s, each a classic in its own right. Tughlaq by Girish Karnad delves into the complex psyche of a medieval ruler. Badal Sircar?s Evam Indrajit uses myth to reflect the existential dilemmas of India?s middle class. Vijay Tendulkar?s Silence! The Court is in Session explores themes of violence and repressed sexuality beneath societal respectability. Originally written in Kannada, Bengali, and Marathi respectively, these plays are presented here in English translation.

Review
?Each play marks an important stage in the development of contemporary theatre, and three in conjunction [give] a general perspective on the manner in which this particular art-form has grown.?
?Ranjit Hoskote, Free Press Journal
?The play[s] rise above the ordinary, for [they] flesh out through poetic imagery and theatrical device ... questions [for] humanity ... [they] give hope through an attempt to understand.?
