In this book, South African performer and activist Robert Mshengu
Kavanagh reveals the complex and conflicting interplay of class,
nation and race in South African theatre under Apartheid. Evoking
an era when theatre itself became a political battleground,
Kavanagh displays how the struggle against Apartheid was played out
on the stage as well as on the streets. Kavanagh's account spans
three very different areas of South African theatre, with the
author considering the merits and limitations of the multi-racial
theatre projects created by white liberals; the popular commercial
musicals staged for black audiences by emergent black
entrepreneurs; and the efforts of the Black Consciousness Movement
to forge a distinctly African form of revolutionary theatre in the
1970s. The result is a highly readable, pioneering study of the
theatre at a time of unprecedented upheaval, diversity and
innovation, with Kavanagh's cogent analysis demonstrating the
subtle ways in which culture and the arts can become an effective
means of challenging oppression.
