Sakharam Binder August 12, 2008

Nehru Centre is organising Theatre Utsav, annual multilingual festival rolls around. This year, the festival is dedicated to the memory of Vijay Tendulkar who died on May 19. Sakharam Binder (Sakharam, the Binder) is a play by Marathi playwright Vijay Tendulkar and was first performed in 1972. It is about a man, a bookbinder by profession, who doesn''t believe either in conventionality, be it in marriage, morality, or social codes, yet feels free to use the society and its people (women), for his selfish motives, without any personal ethics to guide him, he regularly gives ''shelter'' to cast-off wives, only to later use them himself for his personal gratification.
