This book is the result of a collaboration among Elkunchwar, his friend Girish Gandhi of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samitee of Nagpur, and over a dozen outstanding female contributors to contemporary Indian theatre. First published in Marathi-either in the original or in translation-in Smita Smriti, an annual tribute to the late film actress Smita Patil, the articles were serialised by Sruti, the English language performing arts monthly in 2017, edited then by V Ramnarayan, the publisher of this book.
Born on 9 October 1939 in Maharashtra, Mahesh Elkunchwar, the curator of this anthology, is a pre-eminent figure in modern Indian theatre. With a master's degree in English literature and four decades of teaching experience at the university level and the Film & Television Institute of India, Pune, it is as a playwright that Elkunchwar carved a niche for himself in the pantheon of India's leading dramatists.
