After the Burmese–Siamese War (1765–1767), the Siamese captives carried off from the Ayutthaya Kingdom, among whom were numerous Thai musicians and dancers, went on to have an outsize influence on traditional Burmese theatre and dance at the Amarapura court. Following the 1789 royal order of Crown Prince Shwedaung, a royal commission was charged with translating Siamese and Javanese dramas from Thai to Burmese. The translated Burmese versions were entitled "Yama Zatdaw" (adapted from the Ramakien) and "Enaung Zattaw" (from the Inao). These versions became the court dramas which only the royal dancers performed.
