Dr. Amir Hisham Al-Haddad's 2016 study, 'The Discourse of Orientalism in Theatrical Texts,' offers a profound critical examination of how the 'Orient' has been constructed and portrayed on the Western stage. The book meticulously dissects various plays, revealing the underlying power dynamics, stereotypes, and cultural biases embedded within their narratives. Al-Haddad provides a compelling theoretical framework for understanding the theatrical text as a site of colonial discourse, making this an indispensable resource for students and scholars in theatre studies, postcolonial theory, and cultural history who are interested in the intersection of performance and politics.
