| Summary: | "This book maps South Asian theatre productions that have contextualised Ibsen's plays to underscore the emergent challenges of postcolonial nation formation. The concerns addressed in this collection include politico-cultural engagements with human rights, economic and environmental issues, and globalization, all of which have evolved through colonial times and thereafter. This book contemplates why and how these Ibsen texts were repeatedly adapted for the stage, and consequently to reflect upon the political intent of this appropriative journey of the foreign playwright. This book tracks the unmapped agency that South Asian theatre has acquired through aesthetic appropriation of Ibsen, and thereby contributes to his global reception. This collection will be of great interest to students and scholars of theatre and performance studies"-- |
