ABSTRACT

Feminine Man in Indian English Theatre is the subject of this paper as a new location for gender politics. Society develops gender assumptions based on how men and women behave in a cultural environment. Many detractors argue that gender is a social construct, whereas sex is biology. Since the start of civilization, each epoch has had its own distinct vision of what it means to be a man. Masculinity in today's society is defined in a broad sense. Feminine Man is a result of today's masculinity. In modern Indian English theatre, the 'invisible' issue of gender identity is revealed. Mahesh Dattani's comedy Dance Like a Man is about masculinity. Jairaj Parekh, the protagonist of India's new age theatre, represents and emphasises this Feminine Man tendency, which is influenced by social circumstances in some way.

Keywords: India, sociological phenomena, play, staging, protagonist
