It finds there a cache of unpublished manuscripts and production recordings distinctive for their non-naturalistic aesthetics. Close analysis of selected works identifies this as an intersectional feminist creative practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChapters focus on five theatre companies and artists, spanning several decades: Theatre of Black Women (1982-1988), co-founded by Booker Prize-winning writer Bernardine Evaristo; Munirah Theatre Company (1983-1991); Black Mime Theatre Women’s Troop (1990-1992); Zindika; and SuAndi. The book concludes by reflecting on the politics of representation, with reference to popular postmillennial playwright debbie tucker green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on new interviews with the playwrights\/practitionersand their peers, this book assembles a rich, interconnected, and occasionally corrective history of black British women’s creativity.
