Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the evolution of dramatic writing and performance in twentieth-century South Africa, the book explores both traditional and ceremonial forms of theatre. It highlights prominent figures like Athol Fugard alongside lesser-known contributors, examining the influence of American musical styles, minstrel shows, and vaudeville on local theatre. The work also emphasizes the roles of women, South Asians, and other minorities, culminating in an analysis of the post-apartheid theatrical landscape at the century's close.
