dedicated directors and an admiring audience. The Maharashtra directors
are innovative and able to play risk. Unlike other regional theatres,
Marathi theatre doesn't carry away with adaptations and translations
from other languages. Maharashtrian audience doesn't look theatre just
as an entertainment medium; it is more of a tradition in this state.

artistes. Satyadev Dubey, Mahesh Elkunchwar, G.P Deshpande, Achyut Vaze,
Shafad Khan, Chetan Datar, Rajeev Naik and Prashant Dalvi are some of
the well-known theatre activists of Maharashtra.
Tamasha, which was emerged in 16th century, is the principal form of

devotion are the three basic elements of tamasha. Song-dance troupe and
folk-drama troupe are the two types of troupe of this form of folk
theatre.
