| About Book |
The MetroPlus Playwright Award was instituted in 2008 by The Hindu for
the best original unpublished and unperformed English script.
Harlesden High Street by Abhishek Majumdar, 2008’s winner, is an
evocative, complex play about displacement and optimism. Through its
motley characters and shifts of time and space, this play captures the
limited world of immigrants, their frustrations and their dilemmas.
The Skeleton Woman by Kalki Koechlin and Prashant Prakash, 2009’s
winners, is a love story about two people who defeat fantastical odds to be
together. Swinging between reality and make-believe, it weaves together
an Inuit folk tale and a modern-day story about a young fisherman-turnedwriter
with a potent imagination and his long-suffering wife.
Taramandal by Neel Chaudhuri, the winner for 2010, borrows the
protagonist from Satyajit Ray’s short story ‘Patol Babu Filmstar’. Chaudhuri
uses a host of characters to masterfully construct a parallel narrative that
mirrors Patol’s journey to disillusionment. |
