Description



Book Synopsis



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 13th century puppet plays of Ibn Daniyal to Islamic themes in 21st 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.



Review Quotes




"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

"An exhilarating, enlightening survey of the historical, social and political significance of theatre across the Islamic world, from Morocco to Indonesia." --Katherine Hennessey, American University of Kuwait, Kuwait
