Ek Madhav Baug, written by late Chetan Datar, is one of the pioneering plays written on homosexuality. The poignant play tells the story of a 21-year-old boy coming to terms with his sexuality. It is seen from the point of view of the young man’s mother, who is reading his diary in which he speaks to her about his conflicts with his own sexuality, and the ultimate acceptance of being a normal person whose preferences may be different but not deviant.
The play has been much lauded for its searing intensity and heartfelt content.
