English Play written by Vijay Tendulkar, directed by Lillete Dubey.
Kanyadaan is a gripping family drama of a daughter marrying an 'unsuitable boy', and the forces this decision unleashes within the family.
A young woman from a politically active family that regards itself as progressive and liberal, decides to marry a socially inferior, but talented man. Tendulkar explores the texture of modernity and social change in India through the forces this marriage unleashes. This gripping play, which is also laced with a gentle humour, is charged with an undercurrent of violence, uncertainties and anger, and concerns itself with questions that are crucial to all societies grappling with change and social barriers.
