This is the first volume to focus specifically on Rabindranath Tagores dramatic literature, visiting translations and adaptations of Tagores drama, and crosscultural encounters in his works. As Asias first Nobel Laureate, Tagores highly original plays occupy a central position in the Indian theatrescape. Tagore experimented with dance, music, dance drama, and plays, exploring concepts of environment, education, gender and women, postcolonial encounters, romantic idealism, and universality. Tagores drama plays a generous host to experimentations with new performance modes, like the writing and staging of an allwomen play on stage for the first time, or the use of crosscultural styles such as Manipuri dance, Thai craft in stage design, or the Baul singing styles. This book is an exciting reexploration of Tagores plays, visiting issues such as his contribution to Indian drama, drama and environment, feminist readings, postcolonial engagements, crosscultural encounters, drama as performance, translational and adaptation modes, the nontranslated or the nontranslatable Tagore drama, Tagore drama in the 21st century, and Indian film. The volume serves as a wideranging and uptodate resource on the criticism of Tagore drama, and will appeal to a range of Theatre and Performance scholars as well as those interested in Indian theatre, literature, and film.
