This book showcases the important, but often understudied, work of
Nigerian women playwrights. As in many spheres of life in Nigeria,
in literature and other creative arts the voices of men dominate,
and the work of women has often been sidelined. However, Nigerian
women playwrights have made important contributions to the
development of drama in Nigeria, not just by presenting female
identities and inequalities but by vigorously intervening in wider
social and political issues. This book draws on perspectives from
culture, language, politics, theory, orality and literature, to
shine a light on the engaged creativity of women playwrights. From
the trail blazing but more traditional contributions of Zulu
Sofola, through to contemporary postcolonial work by Tess Osonye
Onwueme, Julie Okoh, and Sefi Atta, to name just a few, the book
shows the rich variety of work being produced by female Nigerian
dramatists. This, the first major collection devoted to Nigerian
women playwrights, will be an important resource for scholars of
African theatre and performance, literature and women's studies.
