City of Gardens is a compelling theatrical work set against the backdrop of neoliberal Bangalore, this evocative play delves deep into the complex emotions of nostalgia, exploring how a rapidly transforming city reshapes the memories and identities of those who call it home.
Bangalore, once celebrated as the Garden City of India, serves as a powerful metaphor throughout the narrative, contrasting its lush, unhurried past with the relentless pace of modern urban life.
Menon and Majumdar bring their considerable literary and theatrical expertise to bear, crafting a nuanced and thought-provoking script that resonates with anyone who has witnessed a beloved city change beyond recognition. This play is an essential read for theatre enthusiasts, students of contemporary Indian drama, and anyone interested in the cultural and social dimensions of urbanisation in modern India.
A beautifully produced volume from Dawran Press, City of Gardens is a significant addition to the canon of contemporary Indian theatre.
