Description
Explore the deep connection between German playwright Bertolt Brecht and the evolution of post-independence Indian drama. This Routledge publication examines how Brechtian dramaturgy and theatrical practices influenced the Hindi belt between the 1960s and the 1990s. Rather than viewing Indian drama as an isolated canon, this study presents it as a cultural palimpsest. It highlights a continuous dialogue between Western and Indian theatrical traditions. By analyzing the dissemination of specific Brecht plays, the book shows how his work offered new aesthetic and ideological frameworks for modern Hindi playwrights. This text is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in performing arts history, theatre criticism, and the cross-cultural exchange of ideas in South Asia. It provides a detailed look at how global theatrical movements shaped local dramatic expressions during a transformative period in Indian history.
