Items related to Woza Afrika: An Anthology of South African Plays
From Library Journal
The six plays collected here are the product of South African township theaters committed to political and social justice. They are a clarification of the horror of apartheid, to which the plays bring an emotional, personal context that will leave the reader shaken and angry. They are not propaganda, but an entertaining theatrical vision of people in an inhuman world. This tyranny creates playwrights whose work is distinctive and vivid. The plays also put us in touch with a fresh non-Western theater tradition, of storytelling, music, song, dance, tribal ritual, and masked drama. The energy and integrity of these works is powerful; they are an exciting and disturbing cultural trip, full of a cacophony of languages: English, Afrikaans, Zulu, slang. They are a political and emotional bombshell. Woza! (Arise!) Read them. Thomas E. Luddy, English Dept., Salem State Coll., Mass.
