"Staging British South Asian Culture: Bollywood and Bhangra on the British Stage takes a fresh look at the popularity of forms and aesthetics from Bollywood films and bhangra music and dance on the British stage. By exploring a range of different performance events, from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Bombay Dreams to the finals of Britain's Got Talent, Jerri Daboo asks how and why Bollywood and bhangra have become so central to theatre made for or about British South Asian communities" --
