Synopsis:
The three plays in this volume were written and staged between 1986 and 1995, and they focus on three figures who have had a decisive influence on Kannada history and culture -- Basavanna, the revolutionary religious genius and saint of 12th century Karnataka; Madaiah the Cobbler, a legendary character who had a great impact on the backward castes, untouchables and tribals of South Karnataka (17 cast + extras); and Tipu Sultan (3 acts, 20 + crowd), the ruler whom the British schemed to defeat and depose. Mahachaitra (3 acts, 28 cast some of which can be doubled up), the play centred around the saint Basavanna, created a year-long controversy in Karnataka in which fundamentalists locked horns with Dalit and leftist defenders of the text, turning it virtually into a household name.
