Deerghasi Vizai Bhaskar

Dr. Deerghasi Vizai Bhaskar, born in 1958 in Ampolu village, Srikakulam district, Andhra Pradesh, hails from a poor family.

His passion for theater led him to pursue academic research in the field, culminating in a thesis on Bertolt Brecht's influence on Telugu drama.

Bhaskar also utilizes a powerful sense of humor, with shades of satire, to inspire and provoke people towards the effective realization of their goals.

Many of his plays have been translated into several Indian languages, including Kannada, Tamil, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Manipuri, Malayalam, and English, and have received equal appreciation and acclaim from diverse audiences.
