The Nature of Theatre in Uganda

This book is an adaptation of a PhD study entitled Perceptions of theatre in Uganda: Impact on Theory and Practice. The study aimed at establishing different perceptions of theatre in Uganda, and how the perceptions had influenced theoretical and practical dimensions of theatre. The main purpose of the study was to assess the mind-set of stakeholders towards theatre and how such mind-sets had affected theoretical, conceptual and practical issues and the body politic of theatre in Uganda. The study postulated that there was negativity towards theatre which led to apathy and later led to inadequate development of theory and practice of theatre in Uganda. This book therefore highlights the nature of theatre as revealed by the PhD research.
