Bangla Theatre Onno Itihas by Malay Rakshit [Hardcover]

"Instead of conventional chronological narratives, this book brings forth an alternative history of theatre. Interwoven with the layers of time are social class disparities, religious emotions, hatred or imperialism, gender inequality, economic inequality, the varying hues and changes of nationalism, personal egos, envy or political battles for control, populism versus artistic merit, audience psychology, and the conflicts of expectations and achievements of newspapers and institutions—numerous socio-economic and political events and cultural psychologies drive theatre. 'Bengali Theatre: Another History' attempts to construct an alternative cultural history of Bengali theatre. This book is undoubtedly a valuable asset for readers."
