Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
Doomed by Hope is a beautifully presented collection of essays by writers and artists
which traces the history of contemporary Arab theatre and its relationship to social
change. With contributors from Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Kuwait and Yemen,
this book includes both academic discussions and personal narratives, alongside a
number of specially commissioned portraits of contemporary Arab theatre artists. The
essays revolve around the legacy of the late Syrian dramatist Saadallah Wannous, whose
monumental plays incited audiences to rise up against tyranny decades ago. This unique
book is one of the first English language volumes on Arab theatre. In a highly topical
manner following the Arab Spring, it explores cultural practices - from reading plays
in a classroom to performing in a security state and directing in theatres, prisons,
and international festivals - in times of revolt
