The Recognition of Sakuntala

Work:: The Recognition of Sakuntala (S01801919039)

The Recognition of Sakuntala is one of the greatest romantic plays in world literature. An ancient piece, written in the fourth century, by India's most revered Sanskrit poet and playwright, Kalidasa, this play retells one of the most moving stories in the Mahabharata: A powerful King falls in love with Sakuntala, a beautiful and innocent hermitage girl, but their passionate romance is cruelly interrupted by a terrible curse. In turns both comic and tragic, moving and uplifting, this epic play carries the audience through every twist and turn of their heroic romance. The Recognition of Sakuntala is justifiably the most loved and famous play to have ever come out of the Indian subcontinent.
