- **Event Description**: Vorlicky and Miller examine contemporary African theatre, highlighting women playwrights, Francophone works, and the politics and challengesAbout this EventLink to RSVP: CLICK HEREWhat is African theatre today? Bob Vorlicky and Judy Miller have some answers to that question through their work as editors and translators of contemporary African plays. Vorlicky brings to light the otherwise neglected work of eight African women playwrights from seven different countries and linguistic spheres. He explores the politics of translating indigenous languages into English. Miller surveys exemplary works of Francophone African authors from the immediate post-colonial period to the present. She also addresses the difficulties of translating these works for the American stage.SpeakersRobert H.
