The King of the Dark Chamber Rabindranath Tagore

A wonderful allegorical play, "The King of the Dark Chamber," echoes the very rhythm of unearthly and personal rousing of an individual in their eternal quest for truth and beauty. This play was adapted from Tagore's short story, Raja. The immense humanism, the sheer vitality and that intoxication to appreciate nature's timeless beauty coupled with Tagore's political view sets the mood of the remarkable work, "The King of the Dark Chamber".
