| Abstract | "What entertained India's masses and elites before the arrival of cinema? When did "modern" theatre begin in India? Scholar and fifth-generation Nautanki artist, Devendra Sharma, examines the history of Nautanki, a theatrical form that flourished in North India from the 18th to the 21st century. Drawing on over 4 decades of experience, Sharma's is the first major study to analyse Nautanki through a literary and performance perspective, considering it in a historical vein and as contemporary theatre. Nautanki is essential reading for anybody interested in Indian theatre, world theatre, musical theatre, opera, Bollywood, and India's national cinema in Hindi"-- Provided by publisher. |
