Beyound The Echoes Of Soweto - Five Plays by Matsemela Manaka (Paperback, Annotated Ed)

This volume presents a representative selection from the work of one of the most innovative of the younger generation of South African dramatists, Matsemela Manaka. His productions have been acclaimed not only in his home country but also on tour in Europe and America. Included here are "Egoli, Pula, Children of Asazi, Toro" and "Goree." Each play has been edited with the particular needs of readers outside South Africa in mind: unfamiliar references have been annotated and African-language passages in the texts provided with English translations. To facilitate a comprehensive view of Manaka's work, a number of his essays on the practice of "theatre for social reconstruction" have been reprinted, as have recent interviews. Geoffrey V. Davis has written a long introduction which provides detailed biographical information and traces the development of Manaka's work up to the 1990s. With Anne Fuchs, Dr Davies edited Theatre and Change in South Africa, also published
