What Is " I -Mutation" or Front Mutation? "Early in the history of English a rule called  i-Mutation  (or  i-Umlaut ) existed that turned back vowels into front vowels when an /i/ or /j/ followed in the next syllable. For example in a certain class of nouns in the ancestor of Old English, the plural was formed not by adding  -s  but by adding  -i . Thus the plural of /gos/ 'goose' was /gosi/ 'geese.' . . . [T]he  i -Mutation is an example of a rule that was once present in Old English but has since dropped out of the language, and thanks to the  Great Vowel Shift  even the effects of  i -Mutation have been altered." (Adrian Akmajian, Richard A. Demers, Ann K. Farmer, and Robert M. Harnish,  Linguistics: An Introduction to Language and Communication , 5th ed. MIT Press, 2001)

Stress timed A stress-timed language is a language where the  stressed  syllables are said at approximately regular intervals, and unstressed syllables shorten to fit this rhythm. Stress-timed languages can be compared with syllable-timed ones, where each syllable takes roughly the same amount of time. Example English and German are examples of stress-timed languages, while Spanish and Cantonese are syllable-timed. In the classroom Learners whose first language is syllable-timed often have problems producing the unstressed sounds in a stress-timed language like English, tending to give them equal  stress .

In Shakespeare studies, the  problem plays  are three plays that  William Shakespeare  wrote between the late 1590s and the first years of the seventeenth century:  All's Well That Ends Well ,  Measure for Measure , and  Troilus and Cressida . Shakespeare's problem plays are characterised by their complex and ambiguous tone, which shifts violently between dark, psychological drama and more straightforward comic material; compare  tragicomedy . The term was coined by critic  F. S. Boas  in  Shakespeare and his Predecessors  (1896), derived from a type of drama that was popular at the time of Boas' writing

#Modern_Indian_Theatre_and_Social_Change ~>>The development of Modern Theatre in India is influenced by  200 years of the British rule and direct contact with the western theatre. In Bombay, Calcutta and Madras London models of theatre were introduced to provide entertainment for the British soldiers and citizens. Modern theatre reached the southern states in the beginning of the 19th century. The Tamil and the Malayalam theatre were prominent in them. After independence the influence of Western literature, feelings of nationalism and pride of the glorious past of the country equally influenced Indian Theatre. Sangeet Natak Akademi in January 1953 and National School of Drama was founded in 1959. 1972 was a landmark for the Indian vernacular theatre when Vijay Tendulkar’s Marathi play ‘Ghashiram Kotwal‘ became immense popular. A new breed of directors like B. V. Karanth, Habib Tanvir, Bansi Kaul, Rattan Thiyyam and Feroz Khan contributed largely in modern contemporary theatre...
