KANYADAAN (ENGLISH)

By MTG editorial	Host-A-Performance \| Schedule

This award winning play, by one of India's best known playwrights, is one of his most powerful human dramas. The story of a daughter's transformation into a wife and a mother, the play is charged with significant social and moral questions, which are deeply thought provoking, and to which there are no easy answers.

A young woman from a politically active family that regards itself as progressive and liberal, decides to marry a socially inferior, but talented man. Tendulkar explores the texture of modernity and social change in India through the forces this marriage unleashes. This gripping play, which is also laced with a gentle humour, is charged with an undercurrent of violence, uncertainties and anger, and concerns itself with questions that are crucial to all societies grappling with change and social barriers.

The play has been translated by Gowri Ramnarayan who is a journalist and writer, with a Ph.D in Aesthetics. She is also a Special Correspondent with The Hindu writing on music, literature, cinema and theatre.
