In his first play collection published in English, international audiences can finally discover the acclaimed work of Abhishek Majumdar. Internationally celebrated author and theatre maker Abhishek Majumdar has worked across the world as a playwright, theatre director and scenographer. Performed at the Royal Court Theatre, Deutsch Schauspielhaus. Edinburgh Festival and at worldwide venues in cities such as Bangalore, New York, Hamburg, London, Yokohama, Cairo and Buenos Aries, his plays speak to all audiences through their emotional truth and shocking relatability. Infusing retellings of contemporary events with timeless themes, this collection threads together explorations of authoritarianism, radicalization and the sense of belonging: both intimate and far-reaching in scope, Majumdar marries the personal with the universal. With an introduction by renowned Indian Philosopher Sundar Sarukkai, the anthology cements Majumdar’s place as an important and necessary voice in contemporary drama: whether for performance or for study, Abhishek Majumdar Collected Plays is the essential introduction to the playwright’s beloved work.
