THE MYTH OF ALCESTIS AND ITS TREATMENT BY EFUA SUTHERLAND IN HER PLAY EDUFA

  • P.J. Conradie Stellenbosch University

Abstract

When looking at modern drama the development of African drama in English is one of the most interesting areas. While European dramatists frequently give the impression that they have nothing new to say and that they therefore concentrate on new methods of presentation, the African plays present all the issues confronting Africa today, including the clash of cultures. Especially fascinating in their plays is the fusion of European elements (frequently deplored but inescapable) and indigenous theatrical tradition.
