Books by Jane Plastow

The final chapter, on Theatre for Development and related social action theatre, covers the whole East African region, offering the first ever historicised analysis of this mode of theatre making which, since the 1980s, has come to dominate funding and opportunity in performance arts.

This book is the first ever transnational theatre study of an African region. 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.
