Published by Dimple Publication, Draupadi: Past, Present, Future by eminent playwright, theatre director, actor, and novelist Ashok Samel is not merely a retelling of the Mahabharata, but a profound exploration of womanhood across time.
Draupadi emerges as Agnishikha and Yajnaseni proud, fearless, intellectually sharp, and uncompromising in the face of injustice. Moving fluidly between the past, the present, and the future, the narrative draws powerful parallels between Draupadi’s life and the lived realities of women today.
Her many roles partner, friend, nurturer, rebel, and seeker of justice are portrayed in a lucid, compelling voice.
Interwoven contemporary stories reinforce the idea that every woman carries Draupadi’s spirit within her.
This Marathi literary work will be presented as a dramatic reading by actor Sangram Samel, bringing intensity, emotion, and resonance to the text.
Page to Stage transforms literature into lived experience where stories speak directly to the present.
