Welcome to ‘Tell It Again’, a newsletter that dives into the life and work of Girish Karnad. Our title is from an opening line in Nagamandala: “You can't just listen to the story and leave it at that. You must tell it again to someone else.” This week, we travel back to the 1970s, to Pune and Bombay, where Girish Karnad and a set of youngish writers, actors, and artists drank, quarrelled, and created a new style in cinema and on stage. The trio at the centre of this creative network were Karnad, Shyam Benegal and Satyadev Dubey.
