Black and Asian Plays: Anthology
A play collection with an introduction by Afia Nkrumah and bibliography by Susan Croft. Featuring five works by prominent Black and Asian playwrights.
Harvest by Manjula Padmanabhan
Under their Influence by Wayne Buchanan
Calcutta Kosher by Shelley Silas
Made in England by Parv Bancil
Brother to Brother by Michael McMillan
These five plays in this collection each give us a glimpse of a different world - from the poverty of a Bombay tenement in Harvest by Manjula Padmanabhan to the world of rock and pop in Made in England by Parv Bancil, from the fading grandeur of former wealth in Calcutta Kosher by Shelley Silas to the inside of a mental institution in Under their Influence by Wayne Buchanan and many voices collide in the tales from the city in Brother to Brother by Michael McMillan.
Some of these plays have been commended by critics and won awards, going on tour nationally. A few have been broadcast or adapted for film. By publishing these texts, we aim to inspire further productions, perhaps in venues where little or no work by black and Asian writers has previously been performed.
In addition, the book includes a unique list of published plays by black and Asian writers, compiled by Susan Croft, so that those looking for plays to study or perform can access the considerable body of work that now exists in libraries, bookshops and archives.
