Black British Drama: A Transnational Story looks afresh at the ways black theatre in Britain is connected to and informed by the spaces of Africa, the Caribbean, and the USA.
Offering an exciting new approach to reading modern and contemporary black British drama, Michael Pearce examines plays by a range of writers since the 1970s including Michael Abbensetts, Mustapha Matura, Caryl Phillips, Winsome Pinnock, Kwame Kwei-Armah, debbie tucker green, Roy Williams and Bola Agbaje. Each chapter combines historical documentation and discussion with close textual and performance analysis, to provide an in-depth, absorbing account of post-war black British drama.
A significant contribution to black diaspora theatre studies, Black British Drama is a must-read for students and scholars in this evolving field.
