Brief description: Ramesh P. Panigrahi (1944) is present on the stage for the last 60 years serving the readers/ audience in different capacities, acting, directing, stage designing and occasionally translating from other languages. Author of 91 plays, 2 novels, more than 100 lyrics for All India Radio and seven fat volumes of theatre criticism, Panigrahi aims to elucidate without fear or favor experiences of a timeless world. When you skim and flip through the pages of these plays searching for the author's design, you would perhaps decipher something unusual, may be sometimes alien.
