| Summary: | Staging British South Asian Culture: Bollywood and Bhangra in British Theatre looks afresh at the popularity of forms and aesthetics from Bollywood films and bhangra music and dance on the British stage. From Andrew Lloyd Webber's Bombay Dreams to the finals of Britain's Got Talent, Jerri Daboo reconsiders the centrality of Bollywood and bhangra to theater made for or about British south Asian communities. Addressing rarely discussed theatre companies such as Rifco, and phenomena such as the emergence of large-scale Bollywood revue performances, this volume goes some way towards remedying the lack of critical discourse around British south Asian theater. A timely contribution to this growing field, Staging British South Asian Culture is essential reading for any scholar or student interested in exploring the highly contested questions of identity and representation for British south Asian communities. |
