When the Indian acting tradition and acting style are combined, the Parsi acting method emerges in its unique form. It is during this period of change that many famous actors and actresses emerge. India has had a rich tradition of folk theatre for a long time, but its slavery suppressed this tradition to a great extent and limited the scope of folk theatre. The natural craftsmanship that this folk theatre gave to India, combined with the craftsmanship of the English theatre, was born again in a new form in the middle of the nineteenth century. The presentation process and plot of the Parsi theatre are determined by the political, economic, social and cultural conditions of its era. The actors, playwrights of the Parsi theatre were dependent on those directors and the owners of the company; Radheshyam Kathavachak had a clear vision about acting and character. Acting is unique in itself, all that deficiency can be fulfilled by acting but selection of characters according to character is necessary.
Abstract [Hindi]
भारतीय अभिनय परंपरा तथा अभिनय शैली का जब मेल होता है तो पारसी-अभिनय पद्यति अपने एक विशिष्ट रूप में उभरकर आता है। इस परिवर्तन के दौर में ही कई प्रसिद्ध अभिनेता-अभिनेत्रियों का उदय होता है। भारत में लंबे समय से ही लोकरंगमंच की समृद्ध परंपरा रही है किन्तु इसकी गुलामी ने इस परंपरा को बहुत हद तक दबा दिया तथा लोकरंगमंच के क्षेत्र को सीमित कर दिया। इस लोकरंगमंच ने भारत को जो सहज शिल्प प्रदान किए, वह अंग्रेजी रंगमंच के शिल्प के साथ मिलकर, एक नए रूप में पुनः उन्नीसवीं शताब्दी के मध्य में पैदा हुई। पारसी रंगमंच की प्रस्तुति प्रक्रिया तथा कथानक इत्यादि अपने युग की राजनैतिक, आर्थिक, सामाजिक और सांस्कृतिक परिस्थितियों से ही निर्धारित होती है। पारसी रंगमंच के अभिनेता, नाटककार, उन निर्देशकों तथा कम्पनी के मालिकों पर निर्भर थे, अभिनय और चरित्र के बारे में राधेश्याम कथावाचक की रंगदृष्टि स्पष्ट थी। अभिनय तो अपने में विशिष्ट होता है, वह सारी कमी अभिनय के द्वारा पूरी की जा सकती है किन्तु चरित्रानुकूल पात्रों का चयन आवश्यक है।
