Actor and manager, Maurice E. Bandmann (1872-1922) toured theatre throughout the British Empire and beyond. His career represents a significant shift towards the globalization of theatre in the twentieth century. This book explores Bandmann's impact on global theatre history and provides a new approach to the theatrical study of this era.
Theatre for Development is one of the most dynamic and controversial theatre movements on the global South. Emerging in Southern Africa in the 1970s to address social and economic problems using theatrical techniques, today it is taught in theatre departments across sub-Saharan Africa and employed in numerous contexts from health care to agriculture. This book investigates the emergence of TfD from its beginnings to its transformation into a coherent organizational field capable of attracting significant governmental and NGO funding. Drawing on leading African scholars and practitioners the volume examines the complex transnational processes that led to the institutionalization of Theatre for Development.
