Abstract :

A play is a work of storytelling in which the characters represent theme and circumstances. Unlike other genres, drama gains more importance because it is performed before spectators. Theatre is a place of experiment for playwrights and experience for audience. The tradition of writing for performance continues but the present scenario has gradually changed. The impact of society is reflected in literature and especially drama develops into a tool of protest in literature. Indian theatre has its development and representation in exhibiting the social inequalities which exists in society. This paper is an attempt to ing out how the playwrights present the predicament of the suppressed people through their plays.
