Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Given the book’s brevity, its scope is astounding, ranging from passion plays and folk traditions, to Islamic nationalist plays in the early twentieth century. Theatre and Islam is an invaluable contribution to the library of any scholar, student, or fan of world theatre. (Edward Ziter, New York University, USA)

Reseña del editor:

This insightful and engaging new title in the Theatre & series explores the various connections between theatre and Islam. Drawing on both historical and recent examples to trace their relationship and offer a new perspective on a topical subject, this persuasive text argues against a long-standing assumption that Islam has worked in opposition to theatrical presentation. From the thirteenth century puppet plays of Ibn Daniyal to Islamic themes in twenty-first century productions, Theatre and Islam is chronologically wide-ranging and ambitious in its scope.

Ambitious yet concise, this is the perfect introduction for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Religious Studies, Islamic Studies, Middle Eastern Studies and Drama.
