Covering nine nations in two volumes, the project covers a hundred years of theatre making across Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, Tanzania, and Uganda. This volume focuses on the theatre of the Horn of Africa. The book shows how the theatres of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia, little known in the outside world, have been among the continent's most politically important, commercially successful, and widely popular; making work almost exclusively in local languages and utilizing hybrid forms that have privileged local cultural modes of production. A History of African Theatre is relevant to all who have interests in African cultures and their relationship to the history and politics of the East African region.Transnational Theatre HistoriesTheaterTheaterHistoryGlobal and International Theatre and PerformanceTheatre HistoryContemporary Theatre and PerformanceTheater.TheaterHistory.Global and International Theatre and Performance.Theatre History.Contemporary Theatre and Performance.792301Plastow Jane913673MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483659003321A History of East African Theatre, Volume 13565889UNINA
