Theatre & Change in South Africa by Geoffrey Davis

Theatre & Change in South Africa by Geoffrey Davis

First Published in 1997. Can South African theatre continue to maintain its autonomy and exercise its critical role? Can one rethink form and find new content? Can a concept of post-protest theatre be developed? How might theatre contribute to post-apartheid soceity? These are just of the questions addressed in this book. The real and present difficulties South Africian theatre is facing, as well as possible future orientations, are clearly shown, at one of the most complex moments of political transition in the history of the South African society. The authors include contributions from playwrights, actors, visual artists, poets, directors, administrators, critics and theatre academics. Their comments and thoughts portray the active process of reflection and reappraisal, redefining their artistic and political aims, searching for new and vital theatrical forms.

Geoffrey V. Davis is a lecturer in Engliosh at the Institut fur Anglistik at the Rheinisch-Westfalische technische Hochschule, Aachen, Germany.  Anne Fuchs teaches Tehatre Studies at the University of Nice but also worked as a translator.
