Described as “the play of the decade” by Max Frisch Kaspar is an unconventional drama by Peter Handke. Based on the real story of an enigmatic figure Kasper Hauser the play deals with several themes of speech, language, society, and off course the impact of language on individual and the society. Flouting the traditional rules of theatre and escaping the conventions of Anti-Theatre and Theatre of the absurd, Handke’s Kaspar establishes the role of language in imprisoning us rather than liberating. The paper is a genuine effort to discover that how the almost speechless, guiltless protagonist is tortured and killed by society’s attempts to impose on him its language and its own rational values.
