Description

Kalidasa's play about the love of King Dushyanta for Shakuntala, a monastic girl, is the supreme work of Sanskrit drama by its greatest poet and playwright (c.4th century CE). Overwhelmingly erotic in tone and in performance, The Recognition of Shakúntala aimed to produce an experience of aesthetic rapture in the audience, comparable to certain types of mystical experience. Its skillful plot of thwarted love and eventual redemption has long charmed audiences around the world. Shakúntala's story is a leitmotiv that recurs in many works of Indian literature and culminates in the master Kalidasa's drama for the stage.
