Om denne bog
During the relief efforts in the wake of the Bengal famine the IPTA created Nabanna”a play that tells the story of the villagers of Aminpur. The Sammadar family is already battling extreme food shortage, starvation and high-handedness ofand sharks, when a tidal wave destroys their crops, homes, hopes and everything. In the desperation to survive, they are forced to walk to Calcutta. But their hope of help from the Calcutta middle-class is soon dashed by the apathy andack of preparation that they encounter. They return to the village and resolve to counter their fate with a new strategy. Nabanna is a watershed in the history of the Indian stage on several counts. It marks a break from the commercial stage and the inception of an activist, amateur theatre. It transcended theimitations of the naturalistic stage to make way for a versatile décor which added pace to the episodic action. This book includes a critical introduction, which traces the context and significance of Nabanna and testimonies by important figures of the first performance of the play.
