Description

"Three Plays: Sonmani, Sleep, Mahamaya" is a collection of three compelling theatrical works that address contemporary issues of societal suffering, oppression, and human despair. The author, a dedicated playwright and director, believes that theatre is not just a means of entertainment but a powerful tool to reflect on and critique the socio-political landscape. The plays in this collection explore deep, often painful realities, shedding light on the struggles faced by individuals and communities. Sonmani highlights the plight of women, Mahamaya delves into the political turmoil of the time, and Sleep presents the emotional tragedy of a middle-class family. Each play aims to stir awareness, provoke thought, and inspire change through a blend of entertainment and social commentary, capturing the essence of the human experience during times of crisis.

Abstract

"Three Plays: Sonmani, Sleep, Mahamaya" is a thought-provoking anthology of plays written to explore the hardships of contemporary life. Through these plays, the author challenges the conventional idea of theatre as mere entertainment, instead using it as a mirror to reflect societal realities. Sonmani focuses on the struggles and sufferings of women, bringing attention to the persistent oppression they face in society. Mahamaya is a politically charged drama, examining the chaotic state of the socio-political climate and the collapse of values in the modern world. Sleep portrays the emotional and psychological toll of a middle-class family caught in a web of personal tragedy and societal expectations. These works are not just stories but documents of the time they represent. The playwright, through direct engagement with the audience, uses the stage as a space for reflection, dialogue, and confrontation with societal truths. The plays have been well-received for their boldness and relevance, thanks to the contributions of the talented actors and backstage artists involved. This book serves as a testament to the power of theatre as both an art form and a tool for social change.

The book covers a broad scope, though I wish some areas had been explored in more detail.
