Researched and written over a period of nearly a decade, it adopts an approach that may be best termed as quasi-academic and quasi-hournalistic.

Nevertheless, the overall tone and tenor continue to the rather informal throughout. Dr. Chaman Ahuja taught dramatic literature and dramatic theory at the Department of English, Panjab University, Chandigarh, where he became its chairman in 1986.
