Sanskrit Theatre has an old and long-lasting tradition of full-length poetic plays. The earliest form of Indian drama was the Sanskrit theatre. The tradition was maintained for nearly 1200 years, which makes it the longest continuous performing tradition of any drama texts in the world. The earliest Sanskrit plays were written in the early centuries and they gradually ceased to be performed at some time during the 15th century, when Sanskrit was no longer a living or a spoken language.
