Child sexual abuse is a criminal act that entails inappropriate and exploitative sexual behaviour with a child. Thirty Days in September is the first play in India to have dealt with the issue of intrafamilial child sexual abuse as its central theme. Through this poignantdrama, Mahesh Dattani has successfully disrupted the deafening silence over this problem by bringing the characters as child sexual abuse survivors on stage. He has depicted this social taboo with exemplary veracity and utmost sensitivity. This paper analyses the representation of the trauma of the survivors, their struggle forsurvival as well as their journey'towards healing in theplay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
