Staging Egypt on the Global Stage is an extremely timely examination of Egyptian theatre and performance in relation to politics, looking back to the history of Egyptian performance right up to the present day and the background to recent events in Tahir Square. The book focuses on dramatic and other performative responses to changing realities in Egypt, and offers an important and much-needed new intervention to our understanding of the country's self-understanding and narratives.
