Recenzii

‘A journey through the hundred years during which Marathi theatre and cinema shaped every contour of Maharashtrian society. Kosambi has the insider's intimate feel for this terrain, loves the achievements, failures and foibles of the people that shaped it, and is sensitive to the large cultural implications of small gestures not noticed before, leitmotifs barely traced, and twists and turns left unexplored in the vibrant course of these arts. A fascinating, funny, and therefore a very human record of an unusually creative age.’ — Girish Karnad
‘Meera Kosambi's book is a masterly and immensely readable survey of the social history of Marathi theatre. Beginning with Vishnudas Bhave's mythologicals and B.P. Kirloskar's musicals of the 19th century, she moves through the realist theatre of the 1930s to end with the early Marathi cinema. Copiously illustrated, the book discusses playwrights, theatre companies, texts, stagecraft, music, training, patronage, audiences — virtually everything one might want to know. Kosambi's crowning achievement is her chapter on Bal Gandharva in which she tackles with great skill and subtlety the complex question of female impersonation and how a male actor could, over more than three decades, set the aesthetic norms for the new bourgeois woman. This is an exemplary history of modern Indian theatre.’ — Partha Chatterjee
