This dissertation examines the major works of Trinidad-born playwright Mustapha Matura, dealing with plays written from 1970 to the present. By considering the relation of Matura's work to Britain and Trinidad, it explores the complexity of identity performance in postcolonial theatre and the ongoing need for agency among diasporic communities. Postcolonial scholarship fully recognizes the significance of writing in the development of postcolonial identities, yet dominant postcolonial theory largely excludes theatre from discussions of that development. Given its aural and visual presentation and its immediate interaction with an audience, theatre provides a unique postcolonial moment through which audience members can survey issues of race and place in their lives. In my analysis, Matura's oeuvre is a case study through which we can challenge prevailing theories of how to understand postcolonial experiences.

Matura's plays fall naturally into three categories---the Britain plays, the Trinidad plays, and the adaptations of modern European classics---and I use this categorization to structure my argument. Beginning with the Britain plays, this study explores works from the 1970s with reference to concepts of immigrant experience, race relations in the UK, and the development of the socio-political identity of Black Britain. Looking at the Trinidad plays, it examines the complex relationship of the expatriate to his homeland. These plays allow us to expound on Trinidad's problematic tourist culture and the postcolonial languages of the Caribbean. The adaptations explore an essential aspect of postcolonial scholarship by engaging directly with the nature of education, cultural hierarchies, and anticolonial rhetoric.

Assessing the plays within the historical, social, and political contexts and through the lens of postcolonial theory, this study reveals the process through which postcolonial theatre creates a space where culture, language, and nationality are continually renegotiated. Matura's plays allow me to ask new questions about the inherent performativity of diasporic identity, and theatre's place in the definition of postcolonial culture. Matura's work makes an important contribution to the study of contemporary diaspora theatre. As an immediate and interactive art, postcolonial theatre provides an equally important means of reconsidering approaches within postcolonial scholarship.
