African Drama and Performance is a collection of innovative and
wide-ranging essays that bring conceptually fresh perspectives,
from both renowned and emerging voices, to the study of drama,
theatre, and performance in Africa. Topics range from studies of
major dramatic authors and formal literary dramas to
improvisational theatre and popular video films. South Africa s
Truth and Reconciliation Commissions are analyzed as a kind of
social performance, and aspects of African performance in the
diaspora are also considered. This dynamic volume underscores
theatre s role in postcolonial society and politics and reexamines
performance as a form of high art and everyday social ritual.
