Description

Drawing on over four decades of hands-on experience as a writer, director, singer, and actor, Devendra Sharma's Nautanki: The Musical Theatre of North India offers the first comprehensive scholarly analysis of this vibrant performance tradition. The book bridges literary study with live performance documentation, tracing Nautanki's historical significance and contemporary relevance in Indian theatre. Sharma explores what captivated audiences across India before cinema's arrival, when modern theatre emerged, and how Nautanki shaped this transformation. As a renowned theatre scholar and seventh-generation Nautanki artist, Sharma provides insider perspective combined with rigorous academic examination, making this essential reading for theatre historians, performers, cultural scholars, and anyone seeking to understand a cornerstone of North Indian dramatic tradition and its enduring place in global theatre studies.
