==Biography==
Satyadev Dubey was born in [[Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh|Bilaspur]] [[district]] of the [[Madhya Pradesh]] now in [[Chhattisgarh]] in 1936. He moved to Mumbai with the aim of becoming a [[cricket]]er, but ended up joining the Theatre Unit, a theatre group run by [[Ebrahim Alkazi]], which also ran a school for many budding artists. Later when Alkazi left for Delhi to head the [[National School of Drama]], Dubey took over Theatre Unit, and went on to produce many important plays in the Indian theatre.

He produced [[Girish Karnad]]'s first play ''Yayati'', and also his noted play ''Hayavadana'', [[Badal Sarkar]]'s ''Ewam Indrajit'' and ''Pagla Ghoda'', [[Chandrashekhara Kambara]]’s ''Aur Tota Bola'' (''Jokumaraswamy'' in original Kannada), [[Mohan Rakesh]]’s ''Aadhe Adhure'', [[Vijay Tendulkar]]’s ''Khamosh! Adalat Jaari Hai'', and ''A Raincoat For All Occasions'' and [[Jean Anouilh]]'s ''[[Antigone (Anouilh play)|Antigone]]'' in 2007.

He is credited with the discovery of [[Dharmavir Bharati]]’s ''[[Andha Yug]]'', a play that was written for radio; Dubey saw its potential, sent it across to [[Ebrahim Alkazi]] at National School of Drama. When staged in 1962, ''Andha Yug'' brought in a new paradigm in Indian theatre of the times.<ref name="karnad">{{cite news
