The Lontar Anthology of Indonesian Drama, Vol. 1
Plays for the Popular Stage
Born in the late 19th century, Indonesian popular theater addressed the mass urban audience. This new theater was fast paced; some plays were escapist, others nationalistic. This volume presents the diverse genres that make up that theater: Middle Eastern influenced komedi stambul; Chinese-Indonesian “charity operas”; realist social drama; nationalist drama; and Jakarta folk theater.
