Abstract

This paper aims to present the problems faced by a lesbian, Sumitra Devi, in Tendulkar’s play A Friend’s Talk. In our society, homosexuals are treated with great humiliation. They are mentally, socially, and physically torcher and mocked by the people. Being a homosexual is not a choice on their own, but they are born with this quality called the people ‘the deformity.’ Through this play, Tendulkar raised the hot and burning contemporary issue of Homosexuality, which another writer of his era did not touch. With this play's publication, Tendulkar brought a turning point in the Indian theatre for the conventional audience to see the darkest reality of society and human existence. People got astonished after seeing a lesbian directly on stage whom they do not like to see in a real-life.
