Parsi theatre and Agha Hashra Kashmiri’s Urdu plays are inseparable.
Kashmiri’s pioneering playwriting talent was the backbone of
Mumbai’s Parsi theatre!
His plays “Asire Hirs”, “Sufed Khuun”, “Saide Havas”,
“Yahudi ki Ladki”, “Rustamo Sohrab” and “Sita Banbas” were
performed by stalwarts such as Sohrab Modi, Prithivraj Kapoor and met
with huge success. His writings dominated theatre for more than two
decades.
Here is a collection of his finest plays. The work also includes the
fine essay essay “Agha Hashr Kashmiri: Hayaat aur Karname” which
gives the reader an insight into the maverick lifestyle of Kashmiri.
How he came by his middle name “Hashr” in Varanasi, when he was
still in his teens, is also wittily recounted.
Volume 1 has
“Asire Hirs”, “Sufed Khuun”, “Saide Havas” and
“Khuubsuurat Bala”
Volume 2 has
“Silver King”, “Yahudi ki Ladki”, “Aankh Ka Nasha”,
“Bilva Mangal”, “Sita Banbas” and “Rustamo Sohrab”
A truly fine collection of dramas! Worth reading again and again!
The set has been very attractively published with a smart dust jacket,
crisp clear Hindi fonts and is reasonably priced.
