This collection contains two annotated plays (photocopied typescripts) written by Indian playwright Gieve Patel: "Princes" and "Savaksa." "Princes" takes place in a recently independent Parsi village whose people struggle to maintain their way of life in a changing world. "Savaksa" follows the life of Savaksa and his family, who live in a well-established house in a growing town. Patel won several awards for each of these plays.
