Краткое описание:
‘A terrific collection of work by writers I admire hugely. Each of them prove that there is no such thing as the black experience, but only black experiences.’ Roy WilliamsThis second and sister volume to Hidden Gems showcases a further range of plays by Black British writers whose work reaches beyond themes too-often perceived by mainstream theatre commissioning as defining Black people’s experiences. The plays, monodrama and libretto represent subject-matter from woman-centred history, revolutionary politics, trans-racial adoption and African-diasporic familial heritage, as contoured by the writers’ boundary-crossing profiles as poets, playwrights, performers and directors. The accompanying critical introductions are provided by people committed to recognising the aesthetic and political significance of the work, and its necessary inclusion in British theatre and literary history.includes the plays A BITTER HERB KWAME KWEI-ARMAH THE FAR SIDE COURTTIA NEWLAND IDENTITY PAUL ANTHONY MORRIS,i>URBAN AFRO SAXONS[/i] KOFI AGYEMANG & PATRICIA ELCOCK MARY SEACOLE SUANDI ABSOLUTION MALIKA BOOKER
