Theatre & Islam argues against the long-standing assumption that Islam has worked in opposition to theatrical presentation. Chronologically wide-ranging, it offers a fascinating insight into the Islamic theatrical tradition, from thirteenth-century puppet plays to Islamic themes in modern productions. Marvin Carolson provides an exceptional geographical overview and considers the wider implications of Islamic drama, such as its contribution to the struggle against colonialism in Morocco.
