{"product_id":"black-british-womens-theatre-9783030514594","title":"Black British Women's Theatre","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book marks a significant methodological shift in studies of black British women's theatre: it looks beyond published plays to the wealth of material held in archives of various kinds, from national repositories and themed collections to individuals' personal papers. It finds there a cache of unpublished manuscripts and production recordings distinctive for their non-naturalistic aesthetics. Close analysis of selected works identifies this as an intersectional feminist creative practice.Chapters focus on five theatre companies and artists, spanning several decades: Theatre of Black Women (1982-1988), co-founded by Booker Prize-winning writer Bernardine Evaristo; Munirah Theatre Company (1983-1991); Black Mime Theatre Women s Troop (1990-1992); Zindika; and SuAndi. The book concludes by reflecting on the politics of representation, with reference to popular postmillennial playwright debbie tucker green.Drawing on new interviews with the playwrights\/practitionersand their peers, this book assembles a rich, interconnected, and occasionally corrective history of black British women s creativity. By reproducing 22 facsimile images of flyers, production programmes, photographs and other ephemera, Black British Women s Theatre: Intersectionality, Archives, Aesthetics not only articulates a hidden history but allows its readers their own encounter with the fragile record of this vibrant past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52894896652567,"sku":null,"price":13430.27,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783030514594.jpg?v=1781258296","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/black-british-womens-theatre-9783030514594","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
