Woza Albert! is one of the most popular and influential plays to
have come out of the South African cultural struggle of the 1980s
and a central work in the canon of South African theatre. Working
with the idea of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ taking place in
apartheid South Africa, the playwrights improvised a brilliant
two-man show consisting of 26 vignettes, commenting on and
satirising life under the apartheid regime. The play has become one
of the most anthologized and produced South African plays both in
South Africa, and internationally and is studied widely in schools
as well as universities. This Student Edition contains a commentary
and notes by Temple Hauptfleisch, Emeritus Professor at
Stellenbosch University, South Africa. METHUEN DRAMA STUDENT
EDITIONS are expertly annotated texts of a wide range of plays from
the modern and classic repertoires. A well as the complete text of
the play itself, this volume contains: * A contextualised
chronology of the play and the playwrights' lives and works * an
introductory discussion of the social, political, cultural and
economic context in which the play was originally conceived and
created * a succinct overview of the creation processes followed
and subsequent performance history of the piece * an analysis of,
and commentary on, some of the major themes and specific issues
addressed by the text * a bibliography of suggested primary and
secondary materials.
