In her foreword to the book, Kaveri Dutt writes:

“The plays deal with relevant themes which, though pertinent to our times, possess an universal appeal. They contain an underlying message which makes them especially suited for young audiences and here we get a glimpse of Anindita Benerji the well-loved teacher, who is sensitive to the needs of her pupils and their environment. She is not afraid to go against the tide to present before the audience moral, social and environmental values that are essential to our human and spiritual development. Neither does she shy away from the didactic when the occasion demands it. However, it is her imaginative and nuanced treatment of subject matter, ranging from the local to the mythical, from the romantic to the allegorical, that effectively camouflages the “bitter pill” with a fresh, frothy flavour.

Ms. Banerji in her very first publication has achieved the twin objectives of good drama, which is to entertain as well as instruct, and I look forward to more literary creations from this promising author.”

About the Author

Anindita Banerji

|

Author page

Anindita Banerji has been writing and directing plays in three languages for two decades. This is her second book of plays after Life, Music, Action!, brought out by Writers Workshop, Kolkata. Anindita likes to write grand musicals on universal themes. Her two largest original productions till date staged 600 people each. Anindita also writes smaller plays that present social and historical facts in the simplest manner possible. She does this not because she is "simplistic" but as an academic choice. In this increasingly convoluted world, she wishes that children and adults read her plays and form a better sense of self, culture and purpose, and that they get to the heart of the matter in the simplest manner. Gaining clarity, rather than getting mired in complications, will lead to peace and stability. Anindita is also a professional development trainer and a public speaker. In her leisure, she writes poems for children and enjoys music, cinema and nature. Anindita is presently based in Kolkata and is the principal of a school.
