About The Book

"The Art of Watching Theatre" is a heartfelt tribute to the world of drama and its timeless appeal, compiled by Vasundhara, the wife of the renowned writer Vapu. With a unique and keen perspective, Vasundhara presents her personal reviews of 21 iconic plays that were at their peak forty years ago, offering fresh insights into the performances of that time.

Though Vasundhara was deeply influenced by her husband Vapu’s literary genius, her own love for words and her sharp observational skills shine through in this collection. She had a natural ability to express her views without bias, presenting her emotions with clarity and firmness. Her writing is genuine, passionate, and rooted in a deep appreciation for the theatre.

Through her eyes, readers get to experience the plays as she did—always seated in the tenth row, a perfect vantage point to absorb the drama without being too close or too distant. While some of these plays have faded into the past, others remain as vibrant and relevant today as they were decades ago.

This book offers not only a glimpse into the theatre culture of a bygone era but also brings back cherished memories for theatre enthusiasts and lovers of literature. Vasundhara’s reviews are a tribute to her love for the dramatic arts and her deep connection to the world of storytelling.
