| + | The Naatak Company got a annual grant from the Gaekwad of Baroda. The company would preface |
| − | | in?=
| + | its advertisements with "Blessed with the special protection of His Highness, Sayajirao Maharaj, the Gaekwad of Baroda". The Vankaner theatre of Baroda was used by the company to experiment with its plays in special shows to which only the King and his family were invited. Commoners were not allowed into these shows. A large curtain would be put up in the middle of the performance area. The king and other male members of the royal family would sit to one side of it, on the other side would sit the queen and other women of the family, beind the veil of a gauze curtain. The maids would also come to watch the play and if the play took off, they would lift the gauze veil and enjoy the play some more. A specially soft sofa was brought from the palace for the king. Once, before the play started, I had tried sitting on that sofa, it was really very soft. Someone told me it has mattresses made of bird wings. That special sofa that was got for the Maharaj had a small bell kept near it. If a particular scene of song appealed to the audience, they had no leave to applause, in fact an odd silence would always prevail. Absolute silence. |

| + | I remember when "Shakuntal" was going to be shown. Because of having hurriedly prepared this experiment, none of the players had really managed to learn their dialogues. Everyone had readied to do the performance by depending on the prompter. In both wings, behind two more curtains one, in this way three prompters per wing were furthering the show. That play was full of songs. Not just Shakuntala, but Dushyant also had many songs to sing. |

| + | Because of Durvasa's curse, Dushyant forgets Shakuntala. Later on a ring he had given Shakuntala is found by a fisherman. He takes the ring to the king. The king remembers her again and is overtaken with sorrow and guilt..Overtaken by longing in this chapter, Dushyant sings not one of two, but five six songs. In that griefstricken state Dushyant makes a portrait of Shakuntala. And I am the poor Vetravati who stands before the king, holding Shakuntala's portrait. I was given strict instructions to hold the portrait in such a way that the audience should not be able to see it. What was the reason for this? That that was not Shakuntala's portrait at all. Instead the lines of the verse that Dushyant was to sing were written on the 'canvas'. |
| − | | dp2=1860s
| + | On the one hand the senior actor who played Dushyant took on each verse, stretching out the lines, savouring it, and at the same time I began succumbing to my old habit of falling asleep when such tendentious singing commenced. My neck began to bend with the weight of sleep. As a result, as the song progressed, the 'portrait' travelled, sometimes up, sometimes down, this way and that. The actor grabbed the portrait from my hands, my eyes flew awake. He gave me one angry glance and then lapsed into his sad song again. And the rest of the performance went on as planned. |
