Doomed by Hopeis a beautifully presented collection of essays by writers and artists from across the Arab world which traces the history of Arab theater and its relationship to processes of social change. With contributors from Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Kuwait, and Yemen, this book captures the diversity of cultural practices in the Arab world. The essays include both academic discussions and personal narratives, alongside a number of specially commissioned portraits of contemporary Arab theatre artists. This unique book is one of the first English language volumes on Arab theatre. In a highly topical manner following the Arab Spring it links cultural practices in the Arab world to experiences of repression and revolution.
