African drama combines traditional performance elements with modern theatrical conventions. Pre-colonial performances included masquerades, festivals, storytelling, and ritual drama. Colonialism introduced Western theatrical forms.

Modern African dramatists: Wole Soyinka, J.P. Clark, Ola Rotimi, Femi Osofisan (Nigeria), Ngugi wa Thiongo (Kenya), Athol Fugard (South Africa). Themes: colonialism, independence struggles, corruption, cultural conflict.

Soyinkas work blends Yoruba mythology with social critique. His plays (Death and the Kings Horseman, The Lion and the Jewel) explore tradition versus modernity, individual versus community. Won Nobel Prize 1986.
