Black South African Women - An Anthology of Plays (Paperback)

In this, the first anthology to focus exclusively on the lives of black South African women, the work of both emerging playwrights and national and international award-winners are represented. Plays by Maishe Maponya appear alongside the work of notable emerging writers, including Lueen Conning, Ismail Mahommed, Thulani Mtshali, Muthal Naidoo and Magi Williams. The collection consists of six full-length and four one-act plays as well as editorial introductions, interviews with the playwrights, photographers, artistic statements and production histories. Written during and after the apartheid era, the plays present a variety of approaches and theatrical styles, from solo performances to collective creations. An array of women's and men's voices are represented, dramatising diverse issues such as women's rights, racial identity, displacement from home, the struggle to keep families together, violence against women and education in the old and new South Africa.
