A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

A refreshingly original collection of essays. Offering detailed information on a wide range of theatrical traditions as well as in-depth studies of individual playwrights, the book covers material from the entire continent ... As with the other titles in the African Theatre series, African Theatre: Women introduces readers to a fascinating variety of theatre projects and practices from the entire continent. --Stephanie Newell in AFRICAN RESEARCH & DOCUMENTATION

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Women have struggled to be heard in the world of modern African theatre. Traditionally they had secure roles as dancers, singers and storytellers, but as theatre became professionalised and commercialised, control increasingly lay with the literate elites. This volume is testimony to the scope of their work as playwrights, musicians and actors from the Algerian diaspora to the new South Africa. Guest edited by JANE PLASTOW
