A socio-political history of marathi theatre: thirty nights

Abstract

The book details substantial historical information intertwined between the history of India in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, excerpts from plays that deepen the reader’s understanding of the work, critical analysis, and commentary. A Socio- Political History of Marathi Theatre grapples with a core question of “Who am I?” over three volumes, spread over a course of thirty nights (which are presented as thirty chapters). Sathe’s examination explores the psyche of playwrights, their contributions, the surrounding social politics, and political ideologies which helped shape theatre in modern India.
