Abstract

This collection features two plays examining contemporary Indian political and social dynamics. Stone Idols deconstructs the Buddha myth through a theatre actress's lens to explore identity, while The Beauty Parlour examines an urban middle-class woman navigating the pressures of a market economy and the male gaze. Addressing widespread gender politics and sexuality in Indian culture, the volume pairs these innovative, philosophically rich works with critical essays and production photographs.
