Dr. Vijay Chandra Verma's debut tragedy captioned Death of a Lover deals with madness of love of teenagers of both genders, psychologically as well as biologically in their flesh and bones. The budding Indian English playwright Dr. Verma's seriousness, consciousness, politeness, creativity, discipline, caring nature, love for our glorious tradition and hatred and dissatisfaction with contemporary social, political, religious degeneration have made him different from other writers. The present tragedy is the culmination of his solicitous and observant nature. He himself reveals that the tragedy is based on real incident and pastiche of his mental agony. It is a semi-autobiographical creative outgrowth of Dr Verma. It reflects the transitional phase of life and society
