A collection of six critically acclaimed plays - 'Garbo', 'Desire in the Rocks', 'Old Stone Mansion', 'Reflection', 'Sonata' and 'An Actor Exits' - from the noted Marathi playwright, Mahesh Elkinchwar. The volume also includes critical notes on the theatre.

With this trilogy, the author achieves a feat unique to playwriting in this country: developing a cycle which moves between many registers to unfold the evolving history of a family in present-day India mirroring the social and cultural shifts and changes that mark the 20th century. From "Old Stone Mansion", to "The Pool", to "Apocalypse", we follow the fortunes and struggles of the Deshpandes of Dharangon. This new English edition supplements the text with a new introduction and an interview with the playwright.
