"Imperialism" is a trans-national and trans-historical phenomenon;
it occurs neither in limited areas nor at one specific moment. In
cultures from across the world theatrical performance has long been
a site both for the representation and support of imperialism and
resistance and rebellion against it. "Imperialism and Theatre" is a
groundbreaking collection which explores the questions of why and
how theater was selected within imperial cultures for the
representation of the concerns of both the colonizers and the
colonized.
Gathering together fifteen noted scholars and theatre
practitioners, this collection spans global and historical
boundaries and presents a uniquely comprehensive study of
post-colonial drama. The essays engage in current theoretical
issues while shifting the focus from the printed text to theatre as
a cultural formation and locus of political force. A compelling and
extremely timely work, "Imperialism and Theatre" reveals
fascinating new dimensions to the post-colonial debate.
