Omtale

Eleven plays that respond to the aftermath of the American-led invasion, providing a window into Iraq's cultural and theatrical landscape during a time of profound change. Standing as a testament to Iraq's enduring spirit and its deep-rooted tradition of political theatre, this volume expands on the previous instalment, showcasing the themes and dramatic styles that help define the country's art. From grappling with trauma, terrorism, and alienation to portraying love, resilience, and resistance, these plays offer a vivid portrayal of post-invasion Iraq, serving as an essential anthology for theatre enthusiasts, Middle Eastern theatre students, and anyone curious about the human stories emerging from this turbulent period. More than a collection of plays though, each work includes a personal introduction by its playwright, shedding light on their creative motivations and the historical backdrop that inspired these powerful pieces. Through these translated plays, Contemporary Plays from Iraq Volume II brings to the forefront narratives often overlooked or silenced, highlighting on the experiences of those marginalized by conflict, extremism, and societal norms. Featureing a general introduction that provides a more focused exploration of the issues, themes, challenges, and dramatic styles that define contemporary theatre in Iraq after the war, as well as serves as a vital roadmap for understanding the broader context in which these plays unfoldUnique, comprehensive, and diverse in its exploration of Iraqi theatre, and enriched by the insights of the playwrights themselves, this is a collection of voices that deserve to be heard and understood.
