- Title
Staging a "Plurality of Vision": Diasporic Performance in Polycharacter Monodrama.
- Authors
Tilley, Elspeth
- Abstract
This article explores the performance of diasporic subjectivity in relation to both the form and content of polycharacter monodrama. Using three plays (one each from New Zealand, Canada, and Australia) as exemplars, it argues that two complementary features of polycharacter monodrama (split characterization and oral storytelling) provide a contrapuntal space uniquely suited to the representation and negotiation of the defining tensions of diasporic experience.
