In cultures from across the world theatrical performance has long been a site for both the representation and support of imperialism, and resistance and rebellion against it. \u003cem\u003eImperialism and Theatre\u003c\/em\u003e is a groundbreaking collection which explores the questions of why and how the theatre was selected within imperial cultures for the representation of the concerns of both the colonizers and the colonized. Gathering together fifteen noted scholars and theatre practitioners, this collection spans global and historical boundaries and presents a uniquely comprehensive study of post-colonial drama. The essays engage in current theoretical issues while shifting the focus from the printed text to theatre as a cultural formation and locus of political force. A compelling and extremely timely work, \u003cem\u003eImperialism and Theatre\u003c\/em\u003e reveals fascinating new dimensions to the post-colonial debate. \u003cstrong\u003eContributors: \u003c\/strong\u003e Nora Alter; Sudipto Chatterjee; Mary Karen Dahl; Alan Filewood; Donald H.
