Macbeth : Tamil

Maharajan's tools are his deep knowledge of English language, his knowledge of studying Shakespeare for many years, his skills honed by making two plays 'Hamlet' and 'King Lear' in Tamil, and his natural, graceful and emotional handling of Tamil. By handling these with authority, he is able to touch Shakespeare's heart through this dramatic translation of 'Macbeth'. Maharajan presents Shakespeare in today's clear Tamil without any of the doubts and pitfalls that occur while performing Shakespeare. With his help we go to ancient Scotland; There we cling to the vessels that come to life and stroll before our eyes; We are studying the various fates of the human soul; We see its pride and its smallness. Then we return to daily life with a matured mind. We get the poetic benefit of being in a relationship without arms with a great poet of the world who supports all this.

Scholar Maharajan deserves our gratitude and appreciation for making this possible. -Professor A. Sinivasaragavan
