📖 About the Book
Select Bengali One-Act Plays is a rich anthology that brings together some of the finest works from Bengali theatre, spanning nearly seven decades. The collection features both widely celebrated and boldly experimental plays, offering readers a comprehensive view of the evolution of Bengali drama.
Beginning with works by Rabindranath Tagore and extending to modern playwrights, the anthology includes powerful plays such as The Chariot Rope, Swans of Hanskhali, The Seeds, and The Demon. These works often employ symbolism and elements of absurd theatre to portray the struggles of marginalized and oppressed communities.
The collection also explores mythological reinterpretations, such as Ashwathama, which draws from the Mahabharata to reflect on contemporary issues like violence and extremism. Across its pages, the book addresses social dilemmas, human conflicts, and existential crises, making it relevant across regions and generations.
