description: ‘A playwright of world stature’—Mario Relich, WasafiriTara and Chandan have always been close. They were, after all, born as conjoined twins. But a horrific revelation drives a wedge between the siblings, plunging Chandan into a cycle of guilt and blame from which he cannot escape. One of Mahesh Dattani's most popular works, Tara was also one of the first Indian plays in English to highlight the dangers of gender discrimination, and the insidious ways in which it operates in our society.‘At last we have a playwright who gives sixty million English-speaking Indians an identity’—Alyque Padamsee‘Powerful and disturbing’—The New York Times
