Special Focus issue:  “Pantomime and the continuities of performance: a global perspective”

We invite contributions from scholars and practitioners interested in this enduring form of popular entertainment.  We are particularly interested in providing a global perspective and therefore would encourage contributions from those working in South Africa, North America,  South-East Asia and indeed anywhere where pantomime either found or continues to find a home.  Contributions might address historical and cultural contexts, contemporary performance, traditions or innovations , the appropriation of pantomime within other genres or modes of transmission including television.
