摘要：The Bengal Renaissance ushered in the process of multifaceted modernization resulting in the major reshaping of the theatrical space both in terms of convention and praxis. Abandoning the convention of cross–dressing (where the earlier male actors were dressed as women to represent female characters), this new theatrical space began to accommodatethe women actors for the representation of female characters. Parallel with the emergence ofthe"New Woman"in the upper middle class society ofthenineteenthcentury, the women actors alsoconstituted a segregated sphere oftheemancipated women. Although "free"to encounter the public sphere, they were denied the degree of social acceptability/status that was otherwise available to thethenupper middle class "New Women."This paper tries to locate the experience of a female actor of nineteenth century: BinodiniDasi: as is rendered in her two short autobiographical writings and the re-imagination of that experience in the twentieth century play Tiner Taloarby Utpal Dutt. Dutt uses thehistorical material to explore the consolidation and redefinition of the feminine space inhiscontemporary theatre
