This captivating book delves into the significant yet often overlooked contributions of Nigerian women playwrights to the world of drama. In a society where men often dominate the literary and creative arts, the voices of women have often been marginalized. However, Nigerian women playwrights have made remarkable strides in shaping the development of drama in their country. They have not only presented compelling portrayals of female identities and inequalities but have also taken a bold stance in addressing broader social and political issues.
Drawing from a diverse range of perspectives, including culture, language, politics, theory, morality, and literature, this book showcases the vibrant creativity of Nigerian women playwrights. It explores the trailblazing contributions of pioneering figures such as Zulu Sofola, who paved the way with their traditional yet innovative works. It also highlights the diverse range of contemporary postcolonial plays by authors like Tess Osonye Onwueme, Julie Okoh, and Sefi Atta, each of whom brings their unique perspective to the stage.
This comprehensive collection, the first of its kind dedicated to Nigerian women playwrights, serves as a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of African theatre and performance, literature, and women's studies. It sheds light on the rich tapestry of work being produced by these talented women, contributing to a more inclusive and diverse understanding of the world of drama.
