"This book provides a meticulous examination of the work of playwright Robert Serumaga and the Golden Age of Uganda's theatre (1968-1978). It considers the question of individualism--or its extreme form, solipsism--on the one hand, and activism or a social conscience on the other. Theatrical innovation is another key concern. It deconstructs the ruling histories, historiography and performance analysis of the time as irremediably tainted by a ferocious post-independence nation-statism. This is a study of a theatre of commitment, dissidence, resistance, resilience, struggle, signification and survival; a theatre born under the unrelenting glare of severe, scorching censorship, and incarceration. For the very first time, Serumaga's work is examined in its entirety and afforded the room, complexity and scope it requires and deserves. For the very first time, too, scholars of the Golden Age of Uganda's theatre will have to make no more than a single stop in their search for what were hitherto scattered tidbits and sources of Uganda's theatre history."--Publisher's website. |
