Through the concept of creative diasporic solidarity, it offers an innovative theoretical approach to examine the ways in which the playwrights respond creatively to the violence and marginalisation of Black communities, especially Black women. This study demonstrates that theatre can act as a productive space for the ethical encounter with the Other (understood in terms of alterity, as someone different from the self) by examining the possibilities of these plays to activate the spectators' responsibility and solidarity towards different types of violence experienced by Black women, offering alternative modes of relationality. The book engages with a range of contemporary works written by Black women playwrights in the UK, including Mojisola Adebayo, Theresa Ikoko, Diana Nneka Atuona, Gloria Williams, Charlene James, or Yusra Warsama, bringing to the fore a gendered and intersectional approach to the analysis of the texts. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in contemporary theatre, gender studies and diaspora studies"--Provided by publisher.English literatureBlack authorsHistory and criticismEnglish drama21st centuryHistory and criticismBlack theaterGreat BritainHistory21st centuryTheaterGreat BritainHistory21st centuryAfrican diasporaPERFORMING ARTS / GeneralbisacshPERFORMING ARTS / Acting & AuditioningbisacshPERFORMING ARTS / Theater / History & CriticismbisacshEnglish literatureBlack authorsHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.Black theaterHistoryTheaterHistoryAfrican diaspora.PERFORMING ARTS / GeneralPERFORMING ARTS / Acting & AuditioningPERFORMING ARTS / Theater / History & Criticism822/.91409896041Prieto López Paola1890172OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9911056715103321Black women centre stage4531839UNINA
