He also composed the music for the Broadway musical Monsoon Wedding, based on the feature film by Mira Nair. In 2018, Bhardwaj published his first book of poems titled Nude. Cherished institutions seem fragile, political classes are in disarray, economic misery fuels populist anger, people knowingly accept being lied to, partisan rancor dominates, spectacular indecency rules—these aspects of a society in crisis fascinated Shakespeare and shaped some of his most memorable plays. With uncanny insight, he shone a spotlight on the infantile psychology and unquenchable narcissistic appetites of demagogues and the cynicism and opportunism of the various enablers and hangers-on who surround them, and imagined how they might be stopped. As world- renowned Shakespeare scholar Stephen Creenblatt of Harvard shows, Shakespeare's work, in this as in so many other ways, remains vitally relevant today.
