Publications

Apart from its acclaimed theatre productions, Purba Paschim has consistently invested in the documentation, research, and publication of theatre-related literature. We strongly believe that the essence of theatre extends beyond the stage — it must also be archived, analyzed, and critically engaged with to preserve its legacy and inspire future generations.

Our Annual Issue is a testament to this commitment. It is a curated compendium featuring original plays, thought-provoking essays, rare interviews, and critical reflections by renowned theatre personalities, scholars, and practitioners from across the country. Each edition is carefully crafted to offer a panoramic view of the evolving landscape of theatre — capturing its artistic, social, and philosophical dimensions.

​

Through this initiative, Purba Paschim aims to bridge the gap between performance and scholarship, ensuring that the fleeting magic of live theatre finds a permanent place in intellectual and cultural discourse. We consider this not just a publication, but an act of cultural preservation — a valuable archival resource that contributes to the collective memory and academic study of Indian theatre.

In an age where oral traditions are rapidly disappearing, we uphold the belief that documentation is not just important — it is essential.
