N2  - Drawing on expertise from across the African continent this collection reflects the realities for women working and making theatre: for example how Egyptian director Dalia Basiouny has documented the 'Tahrir Stories' of the Egyptian Revolution; how in Uganda women have used various theatrical devices such as oral poetry to seek common ground in rural-urban intergenerational theatre project; and the use of physical theatre to examine disavowed memory in South Africa. There are also articles on re-thinking performance space and modes of performance for gendered advocacy in Botswana and how women are addressing gender-based violence and rape culture, comparing performance and street-based activism in South Africa and India
