""Au lendemain de l'indépendance de l'Inde, une troupe itinérante d'acteurs shakespeariens se retrouve confrontée à la modernisation du pays et au rejet de la culture britannique. "Colporteurs" d'une poésie devenue étrangère et désuète, symbole de la domination passée et supplantée par le cinéma, ils parcourent le pays à la recherche d'un public qui n'est plus. La plus jeune comédienne, Lizzie, anglaise née en Inde, s'éprend alors d'un jeune indien..."
"A troupe of English and Indian Shakespearean actors tour India giving performances whenever they can secure engagements. A young Indian, Sanju, forms a relationship with Lizzie, the daughter of the English founders of the troupe. That the actors in the film are real Shakespearean actors from a real troupe, adds a touch of irony to the tragi-comic nostalgia for crumbling Imperial culture. Ivory, in his second film, has clearly been influenced by Satyajit Ray who composed the music. DVD."@en
"James Ivory combined forces with Merchant and Jhabvala to make this film about an aging "nabob" (the British civil servants in India who had amassed great wealth) who resorts to setting up a Shakespearean theatre troupe that travels from village to village. The film "makes us see and feel the gentle heartbreak of those who, through the ages, have found themselves aliens in their adopted homes.""@en

"The real-life adventures of a traveling theater group in India during the final days of English colonial rule. They try to uphold British tradition by staging Shakespearean plays but can't compete with the wildly popular Bollywood film industry."

"Star-crossed lovers, fading monarchs, kingdoms lost in the changes of time--the air is alive with the lingering echos of Shakespeare. These are the substance of Shakespeare Wallah, scenes that tell of the passing of British power from modern India. Two lovers, Lizzie and Sanju, represent that change. She belongs to an obsolete English travelling theatre group. He is a rich young Indian playboy. Their affair--sudden, electric, brief--provides the pivot for a story about one of the greatest upheavals of modern times, the decline and fall of colonialism."

"Una familia inglesa de actores viaja por la India representando las obras de William Shakespeare. A través de sus viajes se observan los numerosos cambios que sufrió el país hindú; los Maharajas son ahora dueños de hoteles, los deportes son más importantes que la cultura y las películas de Bollywood han reemplazado el teatro."
""A British Shakespearean acting troupe led by Mr. and Mrs. Buckingham travels through India. One day, after a performance for a maharaja, the troupe's car breaks down on a desolate road. A wealthy young Indian, Sanju, comes to their aid and lodges them at his uncle's estate for the night. When the troupe leaves the following day, Sanju follows them, for he has fallen in love with Lizzie, the Buckingham's daughter. Life for the British in India is hard, and the troupe finds it increasingly difficult to obtain engagements. Sanju's former girl friend, Manjula, a film star, is jealous of Sanju's love for Lizzie and persuades him to take her to see Lizzie perform. Manjula's arrival excites the audience and stops the play. At another performance, Sanju starts a fight because the audience catcalls Lizzie, and the performance comes to an abrupt end. Sanju finally decides that he could not adjust himself to marriage to an actress from the West. Their romance ends, and the Buckinghams send Lizzie back to England"--AFI catalog, 1961-1970."@en
