NIGERIA’S THEATRE AND DRAMA: Audiences, Communities and Constituencies A Festschrift in Honour of Professor John Sani Illah Edited by: Tor J. Iorapuu and Festus O. Idoko, 2019
Preface We are particularly fascinated and ... more Preface
We are particularly fascinated and glad to edit this festschrift in honour of Professor
John Sani Illah. Needless to say, this festschrift has been long in coming to fruition.
In fact, it has been incubating for some time now. Ab initio, the idea was to put
together an episteme from a collection of scholarly articles that dwell on Nigeria's
theatre and drama, not excluding, of course, discourses from the parlance of film and
the arts generally. Evidentially, these articles evolved from theoretical as well as
practical knowledge and engagement of the respective contributors in the various
field. Thus what we have come up with is a theatre, film and art discourse from the
literary to the performative as we honour one the greatest scholar of our time-
Professor John Sani Illah.
Further to this, what we have here in this festschrift now turns out to be much more
than we bargained for. Having received many articles, we had to painfully struggle
to de-select some because we did not want a voluminous book and partly because we
did not want just any kind of article. So those whose articles have made it should
count themselves fortunate and we are indeed grateful for all who showed interest to
be a part of this project. Indeed we also applaud the extreme patience and support of
all the contributors.
Michael Etherton has made the point that drama has a dual existence because it
configures as both literature and performance. However, we know that there is no
one-to-one correspondence between the dramatic text and the performance.
Nevertheless, the fact that theatre and drama occur within and between audience and
communities is a twist to the mix.
Along this line of reasoning, it is worth noting the fact that the landscape of Nigeria's
theatre and drama is vast and varied. It is a melting point; a vaudeville; a pot-pourri
of literature and performance in all ramifications. Every chapter in this festschrift
seeks to deepen knowledge as it engages the reader in a thought provoking
intellectual intercourse. Given these qualities there is no doubt that the book can and
will add value to the reader's resources and depth of knowledge, understanding and
appreciation of theatre and drama.
