About the Book

Kalamandalam Krishnan Nair was one of the most talented and versatile of Kathakali actors. His genius lay in how he would bring about a new perspective to the way a particular character was interpreted. He encouraged younger actors and gave them pointers on how to enact a particular role. This book analyses how he brought a new dimension to the stage and draws parallels with Shakespearean characters and Aristotle’s concept of the tragic hero. It also covers what connoisseurs of the dance form have to say about him and his acting.

Dr Gopinath is related to Kalamandalam Krishnan Nair through the latter’s wife Smt. Kalamandalam Kalyanikutty Amma, the ultimate guru of Mohiniyattam.
