The Varadachary Chess Cycle |

| The eleven plays are linked by the character of Ramanujan Varadachary, an old Indian story-teller
- a sutradhari, as he is called in the Indian drama tradition - who uses the chess games as allegories for discussions about, art, ethics, politics, love and revolution! |
