Drawing on the writer’s experience of three and a half decades of performing, teaching and writing theatre, this book explores the performance practice of a theatre group (pandies’ theatre, Delhi) by placing this practice in a frame of international activist theatre movements. The teaching aspect provides a historical backdrop and the writing of plays adds depth and sharpens the political position. It identifies theatre as a force for changing society across the centuries and beyond national borders. The book examines a large variety of theatrical experiences, including well-known forms of proscenium, workshop and street theatre.

A practitioner of activist theatre, Sanjay Kumar is the founding President of pandies’ theatre, India and the director/chief facilitator of its productions and workshops from 1993. His publications include articles in The Drama Review, as well as chapters in volumes such as Consciousness, Theatre, Literature and the Arts. He is an Associate Professor at the Hansraj College of the University of Delhi, and has been teaching Literature and Drama for over 35 years.
