Description

"Based on invaluable primary research, this book takes an in-depth look at the work of three major Indian directors, all practitioners of Theatre of Roots: K.N. Panikkar of Kerala; the Kannada playwright, actor and director Girish Karnad; and Ratan Thiyam of Manipur in the extreme northeast of India. Mee also undertakes a study of how national cultural bodies like the Sangeet Natak Akademi and the National School of Drama played a significant role in inflecting the nature of a movement that began with individual artists but soon came to be identified with the formation of a 'national' identity."--Jacket.
