| Summary | Annotation "In "The Masquerades of Nigeria and Touch", the fourth volume of his Mask: A Release of Acting Resources, David Griffiths investigates the use of mask in the Masquerade traditions of West Africa, and specifically of Nigeria. The author argues in favour of a common language of mask performance, and focuses particularly on the manner in which the Nigerian dramatist Wole Soyinka explores the theatrical virtuosity and vibrancy of mask in his plays, specifically his "root" play A Dance of The Forests. David Griffiths then presents his short trilogy of plays, under the title Touch, which he created to explore the intricate subtleties of African mask in a manner accessible to Western actors."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
