A brilliant political play; a cherishable short read!
Having seen and loved some of Girish Karnad's movies, I came to know about his plays while playing Secret Santa in 2016, browsing through some wishlists. Only recently I got hold of the English translated play and decided to quench my curiosity.
The play grips you right from Scene 1. And as the political plot thickens, we get to see the emerging definition of "idealism" from the emperor's point of view. Much of the situations and political games hold true till date.
It is with plays like these that I get reminded of the notion of "history repeats itself".
Will look out for watching this in a live theatre sometime.
