Dramatic World of Mahesh Dattani: Voices and Visions

by Katrine Hauch-Fausbøll

Overview

This book is a systematic investigation to establish some core facts on one of the major contemporary theatrical talents, Mahesh Dattani's dramatic oeuvre. It fathoms the new currents of Indian ethos, such as traditions, customs, psyche, culture, "new domesticity", Hindu guilty conscience, and caste-system, etc. Not only that, it catches a glimpse of the new Indian thematic concerns, radical problems and pent-up impetus of the subalterns such as homsexuals, eunuchs, HIV-sufferers, CSA (child sexual abuse) and so on. When Indian English Drama is carving its niche in the realm of commonwealth literature, this book, on a natural and authentic theatrical voice of India, Mahesh Dattani, will be of immense help to the lovers and learners as well as common readers and researchers of drama.
