Soft cover. Zustand: New. The plays in Volume 6 reflect on the continued Western orientation of Indian communities till today. As a character in Salt Licks says: 'Go West, young man, to rediscover the East. And don't be in a hurry to get back'. The first play in this publication series refers to a peculiarly Bangalore society of elders fixated in the Raj, calling themselves the Empire Loyalists. If it was 'Great Britain' at one time, it was the American Dream later. In the pre-liberalized economy, young people went to extremes to get admission in American colleges and universities. Any university, any course, any location, it was only important to get there first. And yet. there was something so human in their dreams. The collection in this Volume can be called Vijay Padaki's early plays. The stories are set in the period early 'seventies to early 'nineties. The ubiquitous 2-in-1 music system in the plays creates a special place for itself. Two plays in the set need further explanation. Gold and Silver was written at the time of an exchange project with the Royal National Theatre celebrating India's Golden Anniversary of Independence. Evening Shadows is an English language adaptation of Sandhya Chhaya by the Marathi playwright Jaywant Dalvi. The loneliness of an elderly couple is compounded by the son not returning from America.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The plays included in this Volume represent two main periods of Vijay Padaki's writing. The first is when he was deeply involved in social development programmes that had field projects in rural areas. They were all addressing the issues of human rights and social justice, although from different 'sectoral' perspectives. It was the absence of rights and justice that was coming in the way of development in real terms. Violence was not ruled out. Mandap is the play from that period. The dynamics of rights and justice are seen in the urban setting too. The next five plays in this volume represent a period of writing in which the writer was increasingly drawn to developmental issues in the urban setting. The plays form a set that came to be called Tales From the City. They are grouped in this Volume as two double-bills and one play by itself. Violence is the recognizable undercurrent in all these plays. Second Shift Muster is the oldest of the play scripts appearing in this volume. The one-act play is included in this volume for a variety of reasons. As with the other tales, this play explores a lesser known city-based occupation in changing times with changing value systems. …

Soft cover. Zustand: New. These plays were written by Vijay Pakadi in the Period 1986 to 2002 and represent explorations in combining form with content. There is a humanistic undercurrent in the plays, an affirmation of the human spirit, the innate ability to question the given, so often remaining supressed, and the ability to find alternatives. It is known that a lot of his writing has been influenced by field experiences in his professional engagements. The content of the play has often (not always) begun as a case study, intruiguing in itself, but demanding an alternative perspective. The alternative perspectives have provided the raw material for the play scripts. The play scripts should explain themselves. Footprints is presented as 'fictional science', raising the serious question of the human species being Nature's mistake, the price to be paid by the rest of the earth.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The principle of economy of force applies even at the stage of conceiving a play. Many good ideas can be put across on the stage in a short play or a one-act play. They need not be put on the rack and stretched to a full length script. (It is cruelty to the audience.) This is the reason so many full length plays in English in India are bright and attractive in the first half an hour and run out of steam after the intermission. Not surprisingly many movie scripts are the same.We have avoided the label 'one-act plays, preferring to call this compilation short plays. One-act plays had a historical context in the West, and served that context well. The context is different today, especially in countries like India where the 'ecosystem' of theatre performances makes its own demands on the performers. The short play has a legitimate place here. A one-act play will qualify as a short play, but not all short plays are one-act plays. And then there are the sketches. How does one define a sketch Theatre folks have not found a satisfactory definition yet! The last sketch in this Volume, Ringaling, has no spoken word. It is done entirely with moves and sound effects - a wide variety of ring tones of mobile phones.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Beginning with a one-off production in 1966, The Ungrateful Man, there was a steady build-up of projects and activities in Bangalore Little Theatre to comprise a full-fledged programme thrust committed to schools and young audiences. The five plays in Volume 8 bring us to the year 2021 in the Children's Theatre programme. Volume 3 was the first compilation of Children's Theatre plays. The two Volumes include only the plays presented as performances in the programme series. They do not reveal a lot else done in parallel in reaching schools. There are also the plays developed specifically for the Theatre-in-Education programme. We will see some of that work in Volume 9.The plays in this Volume, and A Bellyful of Paradise in particular, reiterate BLT's position that children are capable of far higher levels of comprehension than we care to recognize. (Indeed, they have often absorbed play scripts that went over the heads of adult audiences.) Children's Theatre is too often equated with fun and froth on stage, dumbing down the storyline, and actors talking down to the children. It need not be so. Going by the credo of Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) it must not be so. The plays by BLT are designed to tour schools. They include schools in rural areas and schools reaching underprivileged communities. The response of the children to the plays is the greatest testimony to what we have set out to do in Children's Theatre.…
