Our review
One of the greatest Marathi plays, by the Jnanpith-winning poet Kusumagraj. The central character, Ganpatrao Belwalkar, is one of the most powerful roles in Indian theatre.
Reading a play is quick – you can finish it in an evening. Many readers then go on to watch a stage or film version.
