Abstract

Drama is the most powerful medium of communication. Unlike cinema, it is a two-way communication as there is direct eye contact with the audience and also immediate response or feedback. Entertainment maybe there but through drama, social, political, cultural and ethical messages can be conveyed to the audience and from them to the common people with a very deep and long lasting impact. Theatre, as a communication medium, has significantly contributed in expressing the huge diversity that prevails in the society, and also different incidents going on about which the common people are not aware of. Drama, which in India was anciently known as “Bharata’sNatyasastra”, has always been a paradise for art lovers and with time it has steadily evolved in content, form as well as quality. From Shakespeare to Tagore and so on, drama has always been a very strong medium to create an influence on the audience and hence the society.
