Overview

British South Asian theatre has been one of the most significant features of diasporic artistic activity throughout the world in the last thirty years, but despite its remarkable achievements it has remained largely uncharted. This book, together with the complementary volume, ""British South Asian Theatres: A Documented History"" (UEP 2012) aims to reverse that neglect. This second volume is an edited collection of essays on British Asian theatre, with contributions from researchers active in the field for over thirty years. The essays provide detailed critical analysis of aspects of British Asian theatre practice and performance over that period of time.
