Focusing mainly on case studies, contributors engage a variety of performance forms, ranging from investigations into radical dramatic and popular musical performances, through \"street theatre\" (festivals and masquerade shows) and pop culture, to consideration of applied theatre, dance, audience, cultural performances and folktales. Articles address African American and African cultural dialogue; choreographic study; the carnivalization of indigenous African festivals; the stigmatization of disability; the performance of nationality, as well as orality and African performance aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e Highlighted in this volume is the playscript of the detective play The Inspector and the Hero by Femi Osofisan, one of Africa's foremost playwrights.\u003cbr\u003e Volume Editor: CHUKWUMA OKOYE\u003cbr\u003e Series Editors: Yvette Hutchison, Reader, Department of Theatre \u0026amp; Performance Studies, University of Warwick; Chukwuma Okoye, Reader in African Theatre \u0026amp; Performance, University of Ibadan; Jane Plastow, Professor of African Theatre, University of Leeds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chukwuma Okoye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847012361\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847012364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e James Currey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Chukwuma Okoye","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125470195967,"sku":"9781847012364","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b90b6981-63f1-453c-9c4c-0cf88544a98c.jpg?v=1687442811","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/african-theatre-18-chukwuma-okoye-9781847012364","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
