ZHE [NOUN] Undefined: [noun] Undefined (Oberon Modern Plays)
by Chuck Mike Antonia Kemi Coker Tonderai MunyevuFrom childhood to adulthood and across continents, this poignant and honest piece of theatre follows the lives of two British Africans living at the crossroads of culture, nationality, gender and sexuality. Humorous yet haunting, this story is told by the characters whose lives are healed and celebrated through the experience. ‘ZHE: is a compelling piece of story-telling theatre...evocatively crafted by Chuck Mike. It provokes an understanding of the human condition today – where issues of gender identity remain fraught.’ Jatinder Verma, Artistic Director, Tara Arts, London, UK‘Love ZHE – timely, courageous, imaginative, lovely narrative storytelling – rarely acknowledged, and really significant, specificity of Brit-African experience; Black is beautiful reminder; gender as construct; sex as exciting, wonderfully varied and mysterious…it will ‘explode’ onto stages in the UK – stages anywhere!’ Colin Prescod, Cultural Animator and Chair of the Institute of Race Relations, London, UK‘The play addresses many aspects relevant to clinical psychology, including the intersection of culture, migration, gender and sexuality; the ways stories are told and heard; how our own views, perceptions and experiences influence what we can hear and see; the importance of human connection.’ Dr. Lizette Nolte, Clinical Lecturer, Department of Psychology, University of Hertfordshire, UK

Zwischen Provinz und Staatstheater: Die Institution des Stadttheaters am Beispiel der Augsburger Bühne zwischen 1877 und 2018 (Theater #167)
by Christine Holl-EnzlerBühnen unter der Trägerschaft einer Stadt bilden die überwiegende Grundlage der Theaterstätten im deutschsprachigen Raum. Am Beispiel des Theaters in Augsburg widmet sich Christine Holl-Enzler erstmals einer umfassenden Erörterung der Institution des Stadttheaters. Gleichzeitig geht sie der Frage nach, ob das Stadttheater als Provinzbühne verstanden wird und nimmt außerdem dessen kulturelle Bedeutung für die Stadtgesellschaft in den Blick. Durch das spezielle Verständnis, das Theater als Institution zu begreifen, bieten sich neue Erkenntnisse für Bühnen in der Provinz, denen der Sprung in den Rang eines Staatstheaters gelingen kann.
