Answer:
Asif Currimbhoy is one of the greatest modern Indian dramatists in
English and a major figure in twentieth century literature. An iconoclast, he has used
language, form and content in innovative way producing an enduring body of texts.
He began writing plays in his twenties. He chose to write for the theatre because he
thought that this was the art form which allowed him most to show the complexity of
the society he lived in. He entertained independent thinking, close controversial
themes, embodied them in arresting dialogue and constructed and resolved plots in an
unconventional way. His literary career is ranging from 1959 to 1975 during which he
wrote twenty-nine plays with the rapid speed of two plays in a year. He is “India’s
first authentic voice in the theatre”.
His plays are first and foremost meant for the stage. He brilliantly succeeds
in producing “actable” plays. His plays are richly invested with his understanding of
Indian history, society, religion, politics and philosophy. He has brought to Indian
theatre a breadth of vision, a metaphysical rigour and depth of thought, a symbolic
richness, a lyrical fervour and an essential “Indianness” of style. His plays wake the
reader up to a critical culture. The demand to be read with attention, to be
understood, to reach the point of communion with the playwright so the word
disappears and all that remains in the meaning, the sudden light in the reader’s own
mind as connections form, shaped by his own experience and present knowledge.
