Glory!


Synopsis:

As noted in the programme, the plays explores 'the struggle for self-determination in a hostile colonial environment.' Its central character, Glory, is symbolic of the political and cultural conflicts in a colonial society and the effects that a history of enslavement has on the human psyche in the struggle for self-realisation and true freedom. The production used ritual as a form of non-verbal theatrical expression, and the mask as 'a vehicle for immediate meaning used to conceal and reveal character.'
