Description

Explore the rich history of North Indian performance with Nautanki: The Musical Theatre of North India. Written by Devendra Sharma, a 7th-generation Nautanki artist and renowned theatre scholar, this book offers a unique look at a traditional art form. Sharma brings over 40 years of experience as a writer, director, singer, and actor to this study. This work is the first major study to analyze Nautanki through both its literary foundations and its live performances. It examines the art form through a historical lens while also looking at how it functions as contemporary theatre on the ground today. Readers will learn about what entertained both the masses and the elites in India before the arrival of cinema.
