Publisher's Synopsis

Unnayi Warrier's 'Nala Charitham' is easily the most popular Kathakali dance drama. With themes including romance, troubled royalty, treachery, banishment, desertion and punishment, the book compares these - and the complex characters - with some of Shakespeare's most intriguing plays. These deeply thoughtful comparisons - a first of their kind - are insightfully written. Drawing from the rich tapestry of Hindu mythology, the book not only narrates Nalan and his wife Damayanthi's progress through life, but also serves as a window into the cultural and spiritual ethos of ancient India. The story of 'Nala Charitham' is a captivating one, with Shakespearean comparisons giving the story a new punch and perspective.
