Africa on the Contemporary London Stage (Palgrave, 2018) investigates the way Africa has been portrayed on the London stage from the 1950s to the present, exploring its representations (and stereotypes) in the theatrical culture of the capital, and in which ways the reception of audiences and critics have contributed to an understanding of Africa and its arts. The collection brings together well-established academics and emerging scholars, as well as playwrights, directors and performers currently active in London. The editor, Tiziana Morosetti, will discuss key points of these contributions, as well the challenges and opportunities of the London stage for theatre makers of African origin.
