Scenography is the art of `writing the stage space' a visual journey of unmaking and remaking the text on a theatre space, a language of the spectatorial senses. However, this dialect of space and props, though prevalent in the West from the early days of the Greek plays. This book the first ever treatise in this field, unearths this astonishing yet silent contribution of `stage' design in Indian theatres throughout the ages, and the comparatively recent appropriation of it by the modern practitioners of the country.
