By making his drama contemporarily relevant, he has got success in creating a national theatre for India. Being an actor, playwright, writer, movie director, scriptwriter and translator, he has become a multidimensional personality. His originality as a dramatist lies in his extraordinary skill of using myth, history and folktale to make the drama lively, thought provoking and gripping. The present book is a collection of 22 scholarly papers that not only highlight different facets concerning the themes and techniques of Karnad's plays but also bring out the undiscovered inner dramatic landscapes that open the new vistas for further search and research. These papers make an in-depth study of Yayati, Tughlaq, Hayavadana, Bali: The Sacrifice, Naga Mandla, Tale-Danda, The Fire and The Rani, The Dreams of Tipu Sultan, A Heap of Broken Images and Flowers.
