Vew MoreTheatre in Maharashtra
The theatre in Bengal and Maharashtra is alive because of good writers, innovative directors and an appreciative audience, which is open to changes. The craze for theatre and the eagerness to experiment with its content has remained untouched in Maharashtra, while most other regional theatres have either died their respective deaths, are sinking or are completely dependent on adaptations and translations from other languages.
Theatre is a tradition in Maharashtra and neither the audience nor the playwrights ever look at it as just a medium of entertainment. “Stage is a medium for self expression” says Bhadkamkar. ‘Theatrewallahs’ (People connected with theatre) cite this as a reason behind more and more Marathi youth taking to writing plays. “The tradition of theatre in Maharashtra is so strong that even a mill worker has a play in his mind,” says noted Hindi theatre producer-director, Dinesh Thakur.
