The article provides a broad overview of the forms and elements which have contributed to the progression of drama in Africa, and simultaneously indicates the position of South African drama within this extensive context. Much attention has been devoted to pinpointing existing similarities and differences which may mainly be ascribed to South Africa's unique socio‐political character. The conclusions drawn could have a significant bearing on future trends in the development of theatre in Africa as a whole
