Shanta Gokhale (born 14 August 1939) is an Indian writer, translator, journalist and theatre critic.

Early life and education

Born in Dahanu in Thane district of Maharashtra, Gokhale's family moved to Shivaji Park neighbourhood in Mumbai in 1941 when her father joined a newspaper, Searchlight. She did her schooling from Bombay Scottish School, Mahim. At the age of 15 she left for England where she did her B. A. (Hons) in English literature at Bristol University. Returning to India, at the age of 21, she did her M. A. (Hons) degree in English literature from University of Mumbai. Subsequently, she joined Xavier's Institute of Communication, Mumbai, where she studied Communications and Video Production.[1]

Career

Shanta Gokhale has previously worked as a part-time teacher at Elphinstone College,[2] and as a public relations executive at Glaxo Laboratories.[3]

Writing and journalism

Gokhale initially published stories, in both English and Marathi, in various publications, and eventually in the 1970s, she started publishing novels. She published her first book, Rita Welinkar, in Marathi (and later in English in the year 1995). She credits a letter from Nissim Ezekiel for encouraging her to write in Marathi.[4] Her second book, Tya Varshi, was published seventeen years later, in 2008.[5] It was later translated and published by her in English as Crowfall, in 2013.[3][4] In 2018, she released an anthology of her writings over the decades, titled The Engaged Observer, which was edited by her close friend, Jerry Pinto.[5] She plans to release her memoirs with the tentative title of Here’s Looking at You, Body.[6]

She has written screenplays for several films and documentaries. She wrote the screenplay for the Hindi film, Haathi Ka Anda (2002) directed by Arun Khopkar for whom she has written many documentary scripts. She wrote the screenplay for the 2011 Marathi film, Ti Ani Itar, adapted from Manjula Padmanabhan’s 1986 play, Lights Out.[10] As an actor, she appeared in the parallel cinema classic, film, Ardh Satya (1983), directed by Govind Nihalani, and in a 13-part TV series directed by Amol Palekar.[7]

Her daughter, Renuka Shahane, made her directorial debut adapting Gokhale's novel Rita Welinkar into a Marathi film, Rita (2009). It featured her (Shahane), Pallavi Joshi and Jackie Shroff in the cast.[8][9]

Gokhale has formerly been Arts Editor with The Times of India, Mumbai, and Sub-Editor at Femina. Hard-nosed journalism wasn't meant for her, as she didn't like to intrude on people’s privacy or push for attention.[4] She has previously been a columnist for newspapers like The Sunday Times of India and The Independent, for tabloids like Mid-Day and Mumbai Mirror and for websites like Scroll.in.[2][5]

Theatre and its criticism

Gokhale's journey into theatre began with her study of English literature and theatre, as part of her studies in London. Soon after returning to Bombay, she happened to become good friends with Satyadev Dubey. She would attend his theatre rehearsals and observe him directing plays, some of which were written by fresh new writers like Girish Karnad. This began her journey into understanding the processes of theatre making.[5] Later, she started writing plays like Avinash in 1988 (which was directed by Dubey),[2] Dip and Dop and Rosemary for Remembrance (which was premiered at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in 2016).[10] In 2000, she published a critical study of Marathi theatre, Playwright at the Centre: Marathi Drama from 1843 to the Present.[11] She has also edited The Scenes We Made: An Oral History of Experimental Theatre in Mumbai.[10] She has edited the book, The Scene We Made, about the theatre scene Between the mid-70s and early 90s at the Chabildas School in Dadar, Mumbai.[12]

Translation

As a translator she has worked on veteran actress Durga Khote's noted autobiography and has published translations of several plays by leading Marathi playwrights like Mahesh Elkunchwar, Vijay Tendulkar, G.P. Deshpande, and Satish Alekar.[13] She credits her mother for inspiring her to translate the wealth of Marathi literature.[2] Her work in translation began with C.T. Khanolkar’s play Avadhya, at the suggestion of her friend Satyadev Dubey while she was living in Visakhapatnam.[13] Some of her other translations include Em Ani Hoomrao (Jerry Pinto's novel, Em And The Big Hoom translated into Marathi), Begum Barve (Satish Alekar's Marathi play of the same name, translated into English), I, Durga Khote (Durga Khote's autobiography in Marathi, translated into English) and Guru Dutt: A Tragedy in Three Acts (her ex-husband Arun Khopkar's Marathi book on Guru Dutt, titled Guru Dutt: Teen Anki Shokantika, translated into English).[14] In 2018, she published Smritichitre: The Memoirs of a Spirited Wife, translated from the original Marathi version published by Lakshmibai Tilak in four parts between 1931 and 1936.[15]
