Solum And Other Plays From Turkey

Anthology of six contemporary plays written by established playwrights and theatre-creators from Turkey, captures global themes such as questions of identity, poverty, class conflict, oppression and displacement while shedding light on current matters in a country recovering from military coups and still seeking to establish democracy and human rights, literally at the border between the West and the East. This anthology offers a comprehensive introduction that explores the social, historical and political issues in Turkey that provide the context to these plays, and analyses their diverse aesthetic, stylistic and artistic qualities.
