Summary Eleven plays from North America, the UK, and South Africa delve into the vibrant, cosmopolitan theater of the South Asian diaspora. The original and provocative works in this volume, many published here for the first time, explore the experience of diaspora by drawing on cultural references as diverse as classical Indian texts, adaptations of Shakespeare and Homer, current events, and world music, film, and dance.
