This work reviews and analyses from a fresh angle the stage by stage chronicle of theatre art, theatrical trends, actor-directors, playwrights as well as theatre personalities active in the history of theatre during the last century and half of Gujarati literature. That is what distinguishes this work from a history of literary theatre. The work also includes an elaborate feature about Bhavai, the tradition folk theatre, and the pioneering endeavor of Parsi community for the inception of theatre in its own tongue as well as in Gujarati.
This is a very information delineation of the emphatic impact made by politics, society, literature and theatre on one another.
