About the Book
The art of drama with its tripolar structure (writing, staging and watching) aims at arousing the intensity of human emotions and the basics of human life. Vijay Tendulkar as a dramatist invents and explores the limit and possibilities of social and relational meanings almost in all his plays. The algorithmic and holistic thought process that apparently involves in the structural design of Vijay Tendulkar's plays is conditioned by society. The conflicting conditions induced in the thematic contents and in the visionary purposiveness assert and integral relation between the organic form of society and the existence of an individual. Apart from Introduction, this book analyses the nine plays of Tendulkar; and they thus make up the nine core chapters of this book. Silence! The Court is in Session brings into being the dialectics of body and mind, it also analyses the behavioural norms and relation bonds. The vultures interprets the social meanings and the new definition of familial relations. The next two chapters, Sakharam Binder and Ghasiram Kotwal bring into light the egoistic propensities of the protagonist; and the other one reveals the historical events that rotate around Nana and Ghasiram for showing the unlimited passions and the fulfillment of overblown ambitions. Encounter in Umbugland presents a political allegory and exposes the ambition and clever manoeuvring of the power-pronged politicians. A Friend’s Story studies closely and carefully the social acceptability of an issue like homosexuality. Kamala with its dissociative clusters exhibits the jibe of Journalism and it also analysis in some details the female centric ideologies. Kanyadaan breaks down the sociometric adjuncts, revealing the specifics of the hierarchical structure of Indian society. The Cyclist rotates around the metaphor of journey which suggests the self-scrutiny of the being in the process of becoming. Written with the clarity of perception, this monograph in the present format will be useful to both the students and scholars alike.
