The play has since been translated into some sixteen languages in India and abroad. B.B.C. showed its English version, filmed by Satyadev Dubey. It is set as a play-within-a-play, where a travelling amateur theatre group is set to enact an amateur play (staged as a mock court) in a village hall. • The Director: Dr. SriramBakshi received a diploma from the Asian Theatre Institute, New Delhi, and PhD from the Univ. of Kansas.
